Thanks for the hint. Unfortunately setting TERM to xterm makes emacs
run without color suport. At least I wasn't able to make its ouput
colorized in any way.
I guess the problem lies in "setb" of the xterm-color terminfo file.
When diffing between the Linux and the osol one can see that osol one
does some funky things there:
$ infocmp -d xterm-color.linux xterm-color.osol | grep setb
setb:
'NULL','\E[4%?%p1%{1}%=%t4%e%p1%{3}%=%t6%e%p1%{4}%=%t1%e%p1%{6}%=%t3%e%p1%d%;m'.
Now that I've got a working config with the Linux terminfo xterm-color
file in place, I haven't tried modifying the osol one via infocmp |
sed s/bad-setb/good-setb/ | tic. In the end I guess that would solve
the issue.
Cheers, Frank
