8 I use Gentoo, and I have a problem...
9 There are three big problems with Gentoo Linux: first of all, most if
10 not all Gentoo systems are completely broken (missing or mismatched
11 header files, broken compiler etc. are just the tip of the iceberg);
12 secondly, the Gentoo maintainer thinks it is a good idea to add broken
13 patches to the code; and lastly, it should be called Gentoo GNU/Linux.
14
15 For these reasons, it is impossible to support rxvt-unicode on Gentoo.
16 Problems appearing on Gentoo systems will usually simply be ignored
17 unless they can be reproduced on non-Gentoo systems.

515 Rxvt-unicode tries to inherit the current stty settings and uses the 531 It is possible to toggle between "^H" and "^?" with the DECBKM private
516 value of `erase' to guess the value for backspace. If rxvt-unicode 532 mode:
517 wasn't started from a terminal (say, from a menu or by remote shell),
518 then the system value of `erase', which corresponds to CERASE in
519 <termios.h>, will be used (which may not be the same as your stty
520 setting).
521
522 For starting a new rxvt-unicode:
523 533
524 # use Backspace = ^H 534 # use Backspace = ^H
525 $ stty erase ^H 535 $ stty erase ^H
526 $ urxvt 536 $ echo -n "^[[?67h"
527 537
528 # use Backspace = ^? 538 # use Backspace = ^?
529 $ stty erase ^? 539 $ stty erase ^?
530 $ urxvt
531
532 Toggle with "ESC [ 36 h" / "ESC [ 36 l".
533
534 For an existing rxvt-unicode:
535
536 # use Backspace = ^H
537 $ stty erase ^H
538 $ echo -n "^[[36h"
539
540 # use Backspace = ^?
541 $ stty erase ^?
542 $ echo -n "^[[36l" 540 $ echo -n "^[[?67l"
