If you'd like to apply and use them yourself, you can get the patches at http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2000-10/msg00848.html . After applying the patches, run "tic terminfo" to update the terminfo database. FWIW, I've been running with the patches for some time now with no trouble. Aside from the improvements, the only noticeable change is that the patches simulate underline by highlighting the background rather than using cyan. You can either (A) leave it as is, (B) tweak the termcap and terminfo files to use cyan for underlining again, or (C) add a table of colors to fhandler_console.cc. I've been thinking about making just such a table. It could be used to simulate highlighting for each foreground/background pair instead of highlighting the background. I haven't done it yet because I personally like the bright-background thing. :) Brad Town > From: J Augusto de Oliveira [mailto:augusto_deoliveira AT yahoo DOT com] > > I like to run mc (midnight commander) in the console, > but the screen looks horrible. > It looks like: > > > I poked around changing the TERM variable, but no > luck. > > Any suggestions how to get this fixed ? > > > PS in xterm or rxvt it looks ok. -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
