39
40There are three big problems with Gentoo Linux: first of all, most if not
41all Gentoo systems are completely broken (missing or mismatched header
42files, broken compiler etc. are just the tip of the iceberg); secondly,
43the Gentoo maintainer thinks it is a good idea to add broken patches to
44the code; and lastly, it should be called Gentoo GNU/Linux.
45
46For these reasons, it is impossible to support rxvt-unicode on
47Gentoo. Problems appearing on Gentoo systems will usually simply be
48ignored unless they can be reproduced on non-Gentoo systems.

843be done like this (with ncurses' infocmp): 842be done by simply installing rxvt-unicode on the remote system as well
843(in case you have a nice package manager ready), or you can install the
844terminfo database manually like this (with ncurses infocmp. works as

846 infocmp rxvt-unicode | ssh $REMOTE "cat >/tmp/ti && tic /tmp/ti" 848 infocmp rxvt-unicode | ssh $REMOTE "mkdir -p .terminfo && cat >/tmp/ti && tic /tmp/ti"

848... or by installing rxvt-unicode normally on the remote system, 850One some systems you might need to set C<$TERMINFO> to the full path of
851F<$HOME/.terminfo> for this to work. Debian systems have a broken tic

1188=head3 Character widths are not correct.
1189
1190urxvt uses the system wcwidth function to know the information about
1191the width of characters, so on systems with incorrect locale data you
1192will likely get bad results. Two notorious examples are Solaris 9,
1193where single-width characters like U+2514 are reported as double-width,
1194and Darwin 8, where combining chars are reported having width 1.
1195
1196The solution is to upgrade your system or switch to a better one. A
1197possibly working workaround is to use a wcwidth implementation like

1986Changes all mouse reporting codes to use decimal parameters instead of
1987octets or characters.
1988
1989This mode should be enabled I<before> actually enabling mouse reporting,
1990for semi-obvious reasons.
1991
1992The sequences received for various modes are as follows:
1993
1994 ESC [ M o o o !1005, !1015 (three octets)
1995 ESC [ M c c c 1005, !1015 (three characters)
1996 ESC [ Pm M 1015 (three or more numeric parameters)
1997
1998The first three parameters are C<code>, C<x> and C<y>. Code is the numeric
1999code as for the other modes (but encoded as a decimal number, including
2000the additional offset of 32, so you have to subtract 32 first), C<x> and
2001C<y> are the coordinates (1|1 is the upper left corner, just as with
2002cursor positioning).
2003
2004Example: Shift-Button-1 press at top row, column 80.
2005
2006 ESC [ 37 ; 80 ; 1 M
2007
2008One can use this feature by simply enabling it and then looking for
2009parameters to the C<ESC [ M> reply - if there are any, this mode is
2010active, otherwise one of the old reporting styles is used.
2011
2012Other (to be implemented) reply sequences will use a similar encoding.
2013
2014In the future, more parameters might get added (pixel coordinates for
2015example - anybody out there who needs this?).
