No; the reason this "fixes" your problem is that slang ignores the contents of the terminal description and assumes that if TERM=xterm, you have color. Ncurses will only send escape sequences allowed by your TERM variable, and 'xterm' has no color capability. The real solution is to either put *TermName: xterm-color in your .Xresources file, or edit /usr/share/misc/termcap and make xterm a copy of xterm-color. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
