termcap and TERM detection
The secondary screen functionality on my xterm (rxvt-unicode) was acting strangly. So, following the advice at: http://cvs.schmorp.de/browse/*checkout*/rxvt-unicode/doc/rxvt.7.html I added an rxvt-unicode termcap entry to my termcap file and ran cap_mkdb. After login, I'm able to 'setenv TERM rxvt-unicode' and everything works perfectly. However, when running urxvt initially, it detects the $TERM as 'rxvt', not 'rxvt-unicode'. How is the $TERM variable determined by the system? Is there a way to detect my new termcap entry? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You should be able to set this through resources: For example in .Xdefaults add: Rxvt*termName: rxvt-unicode Malcolm Kay ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You should be able to set this through resources: For example in .Xdefaults add: Rxvt*termName: rxvt-unicode Seems this applies to both rxvt and urxvt, To target urxvt specifically use: URxvt*termName: rxvt-unicode Looking at the Makefile in the rxvt-unicode port I find: CONFIGURE_ARGS= --enable-shared --enable-everything \ --with-term=rxvt Which I would guess changes the default from rxvt-unicode to rxvt probably because rxvt-unicode is not normally available in the termcap file. You could also consider modifying the Makefile and rebuilding the port.
