[uml-devel] [PATCH] XTerm TERM setting

[William S. <wst...@po...>]

Good day, Jeff, all,
	I'm finding that the TERM variable in the 2 uml xterm windows is
being set to linux:

bash-2.04# set | grep ^TERM
TERM=linux

	When running mcedit (ncurses based editor), this results in
unfunctioning function keys and incorrect ansi border characters.
	TERM=xterm seems to work much better; the function keys work again
and the border characters show correctly.
	I had hoped to make this work automatically and thought the
attached patch would do so, but it's still getting set to linux and I
can't figure out why.  Nothing in the /etc hierarchy is setting TERM.
Running "xterm -xrm 'XTerm.termName: SomeValue'" on the host does set
TERM=SomeValue in the shell environment.
	Any ideas?

#Host:
[wstearns@sparrow wstearns]$ ps ax | grep Virtual
10443 pts/8    S      0:00 xterm -Sp014 -T Virtual Console #1 -xrm XTerm.termNam
10449 pts/8    S      0:00 xterm -Sp116 -T Virtual Console #2 -xrm XTerm.termNam
[wstearns@sparrow wstearns]$ cat /proc/10443/cmdline
xterm-Sp014-TVirtual Console #1-xrmXTerm.termName: xterm[wstearns@sparrow wstearns]$

#Uml xterm:
bash-2.04# set | grep ^TERM
TERM=linux

	Cheers,
	- Bill
