Some programs will always ignore terminfo and make their own guesses,
that's just the nature of terminfo, not much to be done about it.
I meant ignore bold in combination with 256 colours, not ignore it
entirely. But if you can come up with some scheme to display it then go for
it.
If possible
Ah, here is a trivial program to demo the new 256 color palette on the console:
#include
int main()
{
int i;
printf ("\x1b[m\n");
for (i=0;i<256;i++) {
printf ("\x1b[38;5;%dm#%03d %s",i,i, ((i+1) % 16 ? "" : "\n"));
}
printf ("\x1b[m\n");
for (i=0;i<256;i++) {
printf

It's here!
NEW - 256 colour support! (Not extensively tested yet).
NEW - Interpret SGR 38/48 sequences instead of just discarding the following

On terminals with fewer than 256 colours, I think the sequence should
probably do nothing.
I would be inclined to just ignore bold together with 256 colours (that is,
don't make bold change anything) as the terminal only supports bright and
not true bold. Making an alternative colour map which is
IIRC xterm-direct uses the : form for RGB colour but xterm-256color does
not use it for 256 colours, so for 256 colours you can no doubt get away
without it.
As far as SGR 38/48 with anything except 2 and 5 goes - the only terminals
I have at hand do not discard but I think either of discarding

Well I was initially in two minds about that, because I thought there might be
other un-official extensions that used 38
You should strictly only discard the following two arguments or stuff like
SGR 38;5;100;1 won't work.
This is why some people prefer the : form but the ship has rather sailed on
that.

Tested with tmux, the spurious ^@'s are now indeed gone. I see
there's a new diff available, so I'll try that out in a bit.

This version of the patchset updates a few things since the one posted early
on Wednesday:
NEW - Fix two off-by-ones that caused spurious trailing null characters when
requesting the terminal IDs. (Noticed by Paul running tmux.)
NEW - Discard any parameters passed to a CSI 38 m or CSI 48

Great! Thanks for testing :).

Hi Crystal,
I tried your patch on my laptop. With it applied, and my TERM set to
'xterm', I do get colors in mutt and tmux. The latter, however, shows
'^@^@' before the PS1 prompt upon starting a new session (`tmux new`),
behavior I don't see with a 'real' xterm.
I like the idea, thanks for
Continuing the move towards xterm becoming the default termtype for the
console...
This third version of the patchset adds the following features. New features
since the last version are highlighted first:
NEW - Control sequences for dim text, invisible text, strike through, italic,
and
Here is an updated version of this patch.
Unlike the first version which just added some new control sequences in order
to fix the display, this also touches some input code.
New in this version:
* F1 - F4 now send different sequences.
* F13 - F24 now send different sequences, but see notes
Hi
It is a good idea to make wscons more like xterm, at least so far as
setting TERM to xterm will not cause major problems for most programs.
Hardly anything uses blinking and the lack of it will bother nobody so TBH
I wouldn't worry too much about it.
Your diff looks good to me, although it
The following patch adds five escape sequences to the wscons vt100 emulation.
It's one part of a larger set of patches I am working on to make the console
more like xterm.
