Hum, of course I had the idea of looking at the SVN tree only after
sending this post. This rxvt-256color definition was added a couple of
weeks ago, by a certain Sterling Camden :-). So, I am now able to say
that when adding the following entries to 8.1's termcap file, my
terminal works as expected :
rxvt-256color|rxvt terminal emulator with 256 colors:\
:Co#256:AF=\E[38;5;%dm:AB=\E[48;5;%dm:tc=rxvt-unicode:
rxvt-unicode-256color|rxvt-unicode terminal with 256 colors (X Window System):\
:tc=rxvt-256color:
(I even got 256 colors in a screen on a Linux machine accessed inside a
tmux running on a FreeBSD machine.)
Should I send a PR in order to get this new definition installed?
