71=item How can I configure rxvt-unicode so that it looks similar to the original rxvt? 71=item Why does C<ls> no longer have coloured output?
72 72
73Felix von Leitner says that these two lines, in your F<.Xdefaults>, will make rxvt-unicode 73The C<ls> in the GNU coreutils unfortunately doesn't use terminfo to
74behave similar to the original rxvt: 74decide wether a terminal has colour, but uses it's own configuration

76with most other terminals supporting colour). Either add:
75 77
76 URxvt.font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1 78 TERM rxvt-unicode

80to C</etc/DIR_COLORS> or simply add:
81
82 alias ls='ls --color=auto'
83
84to your C<.profile> or C<.bashrc>.
85
86=item Why doesn't vim/emacs etc. use the 88 colour mode?
87
88=item Why doesn't vim/emacs etc. make use of italic?
89
90=item Why are the secondary screen-related options not working properly?
91
92Make sure you are using C<TERM=rxvt-unicode>. Some pre-packaged
93distributions (most notably Debian GNU/Linux) break rxvt-unicode
94by setting C<TERM> to C<rxvt>, which doesn't have these extra
95features. Unfortunately, some of these (most notably, again, Debian
96GNU/Linux) furthermore fail to even install the C<rxvt-unicode> terminfo
97file, so you will need to install it on your own (See the question B<When
98I log-in to another system it tells me about missing terminfo data?> on
99how to do this).

220international keyboards) or simply use ISO 14755 support to your
221advantage, typing <Ctrl-Shift-0> to get a ASCII NUL. This works for other
222codes, too, such as C<Ctrl-Shift-1-d> to type the default telnet escape
