The terminfo entries used for X and for the console by a default install, are broken for keyboards with function keys beyond F12, and for keyboards with five cursor movement keys instead of the more common four.
In addition, the VGA console supports colour, but the terminfo entry used by default does not define the necessary escape sequences. Please find attached a patch against -current which defines three new terminfo entries to fix these problems. --- termtypes.master.1.55.dist Sun Nov 8 11:40:24 2015 +++ termtypes.master.1.55.custom Sun Nov 8 11:43:06 2015 @@ -291,6 +291,51 @@ # There are no guarantees anywhere.
