I don't know what I broke- can someone help me out?


vim
terminal entry not found 'vt100' not builtin. Available terminals are:
builtin_dumb
defaulting to 'dumb'
capabiliy cm required.^@
EmptyBuffer~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


I've tried setting the term to vt100, linux, dumb, builtin_dumb. None of them give me the normal vim interface.

This is a T60 that got bumped to 3.5.

Ah, I poked around /etc/termcap and saw this list:
xterm|vs100|xterm terminal emulator (X11R6 Window System):\

So I tried vs100:
# export TERM=vs100
# vim

and it works. That TERM entry is going in my .profile now :-)
