@ -49,6 +49,18 @@ supports "default" (transparent) foreground and background colours. On OpenBSD,
TERM=xterm and TERM=xterm-color lack this; TERM=rxvt does have it and works fine
at least with the aterm and rxvt terminal emulators.
Note that TERM=xterm does not support colour on OpenBSD. screen ignores this,
tmux does not: use xterm-color or rxvt for colour.
There are the following known issues:
- tmux on the console on OpenBSD (usually TERM=wsvt25) is broken beyond use.
- cons25 on the FreeBSD console lies about its support for scroll regions,
reports are that using TERM=screen pretty much works okay.
- Darwin/OS X's poll(2) is broken and doesn't support polling pty(4)s; as tmux
makes heavy use of this and there are no suitable alternatives on the
platform, Darwin and OS X are unfortunately not supported for the present.
For debugging, running tmux with -v or -vv will generate server and client log
files in the current directory.
