Package: ncurses-base
Severity: wishlist

Hello Maintainer,

I am building some embedded applications where my LCD-Display is only
64x4 or 80x4 Characters in size.

For testing I have resized my XTerm to this size but now I get the
following errors:

----8<------------------------------------------------------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/] LC_ALL=C mcedit SERIALNUMBER
Screen size 64x4 is not supported.
Check the TERM environment variable.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/]
----8<------------------------------------------------------------------
and
----8<------------------------------------------------------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/] LC_ALL=C mcedit SERIALNUMBER
Screen size 80x4 is not supported.
Check the TERM environment variable.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/]
----8<------------------------------------------------------------------

This is not a problem with the WIDTH/COLUMNS but HEIGHT.

Is it possibel to add the height of 4 characters to the XTerm terminfo?

Since I do not know, HOW TO create a terminfo, I can not send any
patches for it.

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day
