I decided to switch my file server to FreeBSD due to my getting sick of Debian and its various quirks.
It is a command line only system, primarily accessed via SSH.
The Rxvt-Unicode package (and the port) requires a whole lot of X dependencies.
Being a command line only system, I don't fancy installing graphical deps.
Every application on the system is treating my terminal as a dumb terminal, and applications requiring input refuse to start.
The problem (I thought) was the lack of a termcap entry for Rxvt-Unicode. So, I found an entry, and appended it to /usr/share/misc/termcap.
I was surprised to find that I had the same problem as before, so I rebooted, upon boot, I opened an SSH connection from my desktop, but the same problem remains.
I remember reading somewhere that I need to put the termcap entry in termcap.src.
Due to my very limited BSD experience (literally an hours experience), I have no idea where to find this.
I tried searching my local ports with "make search name=termcap", but there were no results.
Any help would be great, Xterm isn't very nice.
