I tried creating a new user, but the problem persists. There is no .termcap entry in the new user directory (or in mine). If I type "xterm -tn xterm-xi" or "xterm -tn xterm-xf86suse" the problem goes away, although I cannot get tset to work when I resize the xterm window (it says it does not recognize "xterm-xi", etc.).
The only modifications I made in my installation were (i) installation of Accelerated X 4.1, (2) modification of the fonts as per a posting on this list (compressing with "compress" rather than gzip).
Please do a "rpm -V xf86". I bet Accelerated X is silently overwriting something in the system...
Still a bit puzzled...

I seem to have a problem with xterm in my new SuSE linux 5.2 installation that I can't solve. The problem is that when I run an xterm and use more/less, the first pageful of text is normal, and the second appears in reverse video. The reverse video disappears when I quit more/less and do "ls". This problem does not occur with rxvt. But I would like to be able to use xterm, so I've looked around for clues on the problem by reading the man pages and app-defaults for xterm and rxvt, looking at .Xresources, /etc/inputrc, etc., and reading the archives of the suse-linux-e list. Unfortunately, nothing I have tried seems to work.
Can anyone suggest a clue or solution?
Do you have this problem with every account?
Please try: Create a sample user and check if the problem exists with the new account. If you only see the problem with an "old" user (the home has lived under previous installs) check for the existance of a .termcap directory in the users home and delete/rename it.
