SLACKWARE 1.2.0 / 2.0.0 problems:


1.  Linux console termcap/terminfo databases problems
-----------------------------------------------------

a) - the 'ms' flag (safe to move in standout mode) is missing from the
console termcap database. It is available  only in the console terminfo
database (its terminfo name is 'msgr').

b) - the 'sgr0' capability (according to the terminfo manual this is the
terminfo name of the termcap 'me' capability) is missing from the console
terminfo database but it is available in the termcap database. This is a
problem for UIT when using terminfo because if we can't turn the reverse
video mode or the brightness off, we should not turn them on at all. I've
solved the problem by using a hard-coded 'me' for the Linux console if I
can't find 'me' in the database, but I hate this method. This is one of the
two reasons why I prefer using termcap under Linux (the second one is that
the executable linked with the termcap library is a lot smaller).

c) - the 'smacs' and 'rmacs' ('as' and 'ae' in termcap) are missing from
the console termcap database but are available in the console terminfo
database.

d) - 'se' is \E[27m in termcap but 'rmso' (the terminfo equivalent) is
\E[0m in terminfo. Are both ok ?


2.  color_xterm problems under Linux (not tried on SLACKWARE 2.0.0)
-------------------------------------------------------------------

 - sometimes, when moving the cursor, color_xterm deletes useful
informations on the screen. This is *NOT* an uit bug because when
hiding/repainting the window, the garbage disapears. I don't know
how to handle this. The normal xterm (b/w) works fine.
