40There are two big problems with Gentoo Linux: first, most if not all
41Gentoo systems are completely broken (missing or mismatched header
42files, broken compiler etc. are just the tip of the iceberg);
43secondly, it should be called Gentoo GNU/Linux.

45For these reasons, it is impossible to support rxvt-unicode on
46Gentoo. Problems appearing on Gentoo systems will usually simply be
47ignored unless they can be reproduced on non-Gentoo systems.

488=head3 Why is the cursor now blinking in emacs/vi/...?
489
490This is likely caused by your editor/program's use of the C<cvvis>
491terminfo capability. Emacs uses it by default, as well as some versions of
492vi and possibly other programs.
493
494In emacs, you can switch that off by adding this to your C<.emacs> file:
495
496 (setq visible-cursor nil)
497
498For other programs, if they do not have an option, your have to remove the
499C<cvvis> capability from the terminfo description.
500
501When @@URXVT_NAME@@ first added the blinking cursor option, it didn't
502add a C<cvvis> capability, which served no purpose before. Version 9.21
503introduced C<cvvis> (and the ability to control blinking independent of
504cursor shape) for compatibility with other terminals, which traditionally
505use a blinking cursor for C<cvvis>. This also reflects the intent of
506programs such as emacs, who expect C<cvvis> to enable a blinking cursor.

1101The Debian GNU/Linux package of rxvt-unicode in sarge contains large
1102patches that considerably change the behaviour of rxvt-unicode (but
1103unfortunately this notice has been removed). Before reporting a bug to
1104the original rxvt-unicode author please download and install the genuine
1105version (L<http://software.schmorp.de#rxvt-unicode>) and try to reproduce
1106the problem. If you cannot, chances are that the problems are specific to
1107Debian GNU/Linux, in which case it should be reported via the Debian Bug
1108Tracking System (use C<reportbug> to report the bug).
1109
1110For other problems that also affect the Debian package, you can and
1111probably should use the Debian BTS, too, because, after all, it's also a

1152=head3 On Solaris 9, many line-drawing characters are too wide.
1153
1154Seems to be a known bug, read
1155L<http://nixdoc.net/files/forum/about34198.html>. Some people use the
1156following ugly workaround to get non-double-wide-characters working:
1157
1158 #define wcwidth(x) wcwidth(x) > 1 ? 1 : wcwidth(x)

1186=head3 Character widths are not correct.
1187
1188urxvt uses the system wcwidth function to know the information about
1189the width of characters, so on systems with incorrect locale data you
1190will likely get bad results. Two notorious examples are Solaris 9,
1191where single-width characters like U+2514 are reported as double-width,
1192and Darwin 8, where combining chars are reported having width 1.
1193
1194The solution is to upgrade your system or switch to a better one. A
1195possibly working workaround is to use a wcwidth implementation like

1984Changes all mouse reporting codes to use decimal parameters instead of
1985octets or characters.
1986
1987This mode should be enabled I<before> actually enabling mouse reporting,
1988for semi-obvious reasons.
1989
1990The sequences received for various modes are as follows:
1991
1992 ESC [ M o o o !1005, !1015 (three octets)
1993 ESC [ M c c c 1005, !1015 (three characters)
1994 ESC [ Pm M 1015 (three or more numeric parameters)
1995
1996The first three parameters are C<code>, C<x> and C<y>. Code is the numeric
1997code as for the other modes (but encoded as a decimal number, including
1998the additional offset of 32, so you have to subtract 32 first), C<x> and
1999C<y> are the coordinates (1|1 is the upper left corner, just as with
2000cursor positioning).
2001
2002Example: Shift-Button-1 press at top row, column 80.
2003
2004 ESC [ 37 ; 80 ; 1 M
2005
2006One can use this feature by simply enabling it and then looking for
2007parameters to the C<ESC [ M> reply - if there are any, this mode is
2008active, otherwise one of the old reporting styles is used.
2009
2010Other (to be implemented) reply sequences will use a similar encoding.
2011
2012In the future, more parameters might get added (pixel coordinates for
2013example - anybody out there who needs this?).
