- Could someone please enlighten me as to the current status of
- terminfo?
-
- I downloaded the new terminfo entries from raven. When I installed
- the new ansipc .ti, cls.c no longer works properly. It clears the
- screen but puts the prompt at the _bottom_ of the screen, not the top.
-
- Also, a "corrected" vt52 entry I am using that "works around" a bug in
- terminfo does not work properly, putting the prompt at the bottom also,
- and generally not clearing the screen properly, like in minicom. (This is
- an improvement over the original .ti, though, which just produced garbage
- on my TRS80 model 4 vt52 emulator.
-
- I'm using the "stock" 4.0.1 kernel. Do I need a new kernel?
