The file /usr/lib/terminfo/x/xterm doesn't understand the Sun xterm
correct. I've had the same problem on RH 5.1 as well, but the current
snapshot of Debian 2.2 has a correct terminfo file!
So I copied it over to my SuSE6.0 box, and it works great! :-)
I can send it to you if you want to. Just send me an email.
There may be another solution to this. The directory /usr/lib/terminfo/x/
contains over thirty files, one of which is called "xterm-sun".
Maybe if you rename this to "xterm" (remember to save a copy of the old
xterm first! ;-) ), it will do the trick? I haven't tried this.
I just found a solution that worked for me...
