new termcap entry for rxvt-unicode-256color
Hello, rxvt-unicode version 9.09 was released last month. It added support for 256 colors in the default configuration, and the default value of $TERM changed to rxvt-unicode-256color (from rxvt-unicode). This results in slightly incorrect colors, and some programs like vi(1) refuse to work. It is my understanding that I should update /usr/share/misc/termcap. The diff between rxvt-unicode and rxvt-unicode-256color seems rather short; on a Linux machine, I have : girafe:~% infocmp -d rxvt-unicode rxvt-unicode-256color comparing rxvt-unicode to rxvt-unicode-256color. comparing booleans. comparing numbers. colors: 88, 256. pairs: 7744, 32767. comparing strings. However, I don't how how to update the termcap file. From my understanding of the manpage, the following command should give me the necessary information : girafe:~% infocmp -C -u rxvt-unicode-256color rxvt-unicode rxvt-unicode-256color|rxvt-unicode terminal with 256 colors (X Window System):\ :tc=rxvt-unicode: As you see, their is no mention of the 256-color capabilities, this doesn't seem correct.

It can communicate over an encrypted SSL tunnel. The client can initiate an outgoing connection, so outside holes don't need to poked through the firewall. Haven't needed to try it on a Mac, but Karl Runge's web page (http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/ssvnc.html) lists MacOSX support. This has worked well for me on high-bandwidth connections.

If you're connecting to Windows clients, use RDP, not VNC. /usr/ports/net/rdesktop /usr/ports/net/freerdp To X11 and other type clients, VNC. You can use /usr/ports/net/freenx and /usr/ports/net/linux-nx-client/ for a better experience although I haven't gotten that portion working under FreeBSD before. Once it's setup though it's way faster than an equal bandwidth/setttings RDP connection. -- Adam Vande More ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
