ncurses-5.9-20110716.patch changes linux term to use SI/SO (use G1 charset) for selecting alternate character set; however, it kept acsc to use CP437 codes - it had a chance to work on non-unicode terminal only if G1 was mapped to CP437 map, which is not the default; the default for G1 is VT100 map, which works with VT100-specific acsc string - and that's what this patch changes. --- ncurses-5.9/misc/terminfo.src.orig 2011-11-05 08:32:32.280686759 +0100 +++ ncurses-5.9/misc/terminfo.src 2011-11-05 13:37:42.217966510 +0100 @@ -945,6 +945,7 @@ # Using SI/SO has the drawback that it confuses screen.
