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

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:

1189=head3 Character widths are not correct.
1190
1191urxvt uses the system wcwidth function to know the information about
1192the width of characters, so on systems with incorrect locale data you
1193will likely get bad results. Two notorious examples are Solaris 9,
1194where single-width characters like U+2514 are reported as double-width,
1195and Darwin 8, where combining chars are reported having width 1.
1196
1197The solution is to upgrade your system or switch to a better one. A
1198possibly working workaround is to use a wcwidth implementation like

1987Changes all mouse reporting codes to use decimal parameters instead of
1988octets or characters.
1989
1990This mode should be enabled I<before> actually enabling mouse reporting,
1991for semi-obvious reasons.
1992
1993The sequences received for various modes are as follows:
1994
1995 ESC [ M o o o !1005, !1015 (three octets)
1996 ESC [ M c c c 1005, !1015 (three characters)
1997 ESC [ Pm M 1015 (three or more numeric parameters)
1998
1999The first three parameters are C<code>, C<x> and C<y>. Code is the numeric
2000code as for the other modes (but encoded as a decimal number, including
2001the additional offset of 32, so you have to subtract 32 first), C<x> and
2002C<y> are the coordinates (1|1 is the upper left corner, just as with
2003cursor positioning).
2004
2005Example: Shift-Button-1 press at top row, column 80.
2006
2007 ESC [ 37 ; 80 ; 1 M
2008
2009One can use this feature by simply enabling it and then looking for
2010parameters to the C<ESC [ M> reply - if there are any, this mode is
2011active, otherwise one of the old reporting styles is used.
2012
2013Other (to be implemented) reply sequences will use a similar encoding.
2014
2015In the future, more parameters might get added (pixel coordinates for
2016example - anybody out there who needs this?).
