Interesting! > So, basically, please don't care about it. :) I really would like to, but I can't. Besides the fact that my coworkers who are running SuSE-Linux are always trying to find weaknesses of Debian (and vice versa :-), I am running into problems when remote administring non-Debian machines: I have to set the TERM-type to from xterm-debian to xterm, but then curses based tools (like SuSE's YaST for example) don't recognize the function keys. > please look at /usr/doc/xterm/README.Debian first, though the problems > it talks about concern mostly the Backspace and Delete keys). I know the this README, but as you say, it only talks about Backspace and Delete. I just tried the terminfo approach and that seems to work! So I guess I solved my problem, but I still don't really like it. However I now understand that it's not a Debian problem, but a general X problem. Things should be standardized better. :-( Thanks for your help, Andy. -- E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: http://andy.spiegl.de PGP/GPG: see headers o _ _ _ --------- __o __o /\_ _ \\o (_)\__/o (_) ------- _`\<,_ _`\<,_ _>(_) (_)/<_ \_| \ _|/' \/ ------ (_)/ (_) (_)/ (_) (_) (_) (_) (_)' _\o_ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A feature is a bug with seniority.
