[Mlterm-dev-en] A few questions.

[Sergey K. <svy...@ge...>]

Hello!
Sorry if I am writing to wrong, but this list is only way of contacting mlterm
developers, from what I found on mlterm.sf.net

First of all, let me say, that I am glad to see new version (2.9.0). Keep up
great work! And now, may I ask a few questions?

So, my questions are:
First of all is there any way to make mlterm clear the screen after exiting
applications, like vim or mutt. E.g.: when I run vim in xterm and then exit -
the screen would go back to state it was before before running vim.

The other question is rather a bug report. I found that if I use xcompmgr in
latest Xorg and mlterm my X server will crash in 99% of cases. No sure if it's
mlterm issue, but this doesn't happen with any other app.

Thanks in advance for all answers!

Wkr,

mlterm do not (yet) support all of extentions that XFree86's xterm has. 
When you are using mlterm with TERM=xterm, there can be some gliches
depending on your system's terminfo/termcap data.

I'd like to recommend to use mlterm with TERM=mlterm if you want to
utilize a bit advanced feature of the terminal emulator.

Please try to invoke mlterm as 
 mlterm -y mlterm
and run vim on it. You may have to an install terminfo/termcap entry,
though.

When does your X crash? Just after runing mlterm?

#Anyway, X server shouldn't crash even if an application 
#running on it did stupid things...

I'd appreciate if you could tell, me how to install those termcap entries, cause
I have no idea about this.

Yep, right after mlterm starts. Though, I guess it looks like Xorg bug, not
your's!

termcap:

$ cat mlterm.tc >> ~/.termcap

terminfo:
doc/term/mlterm.ti
$ tic doc/term/mlterm.ti
