Hi !

I have the framebuffer (splashscreen et bootsplash too) console and midnight commander don't display line separation and are not well aligned.

I've found that setting unicode="no" in rc.conf fixes mc's console display problems. Hopefully someday Midnight Commander's unicode issues will be addressed.

I've just tried this on two of my PCs. Worked fine on my x86 box, but no luck on my amd64 box (with frame buffer splash on). Some info:
Quote:
$ equery uses mc
[ Searching for packages matching mc... ]
[ Colour Code : set unset ]
[ Legend : Left column (U) - USE flags from make.conf ]
[ : Right column (I) - USE flags packages was installed with ]
[ Found these USE variables for app-misc/mc-4.6.1 ]
U I
- - 7zip : add support for 7zip archives
+ + X : Adds support for X11
+ + gpm : Adds support for sys-libs/gpm (Console-based mouse driver)
+ + ncurses : Adds ncurses support (console display library)
+ + nls : Adds Native Language Support (using gettext - GNU locale utilities)
+ + pam : Adds support PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) - DANGEROUS to arbitrarily flip
+ + samba : Adds support for SAMBA (Windows File and Printer sharing)
- - slang : Adds support for the slang text display library (it's like ncurses, but different)
- - unicode : Adds support for Unicode

and:
Quote:
$ tail /etc/rc.conf
unicode="no"


Any more suggestions? I've tried rebooting after setting this up. I've tried compiling mc with USE="slang".
