+Solaris and IRIX don't have a 'screen' terminfo entry by default, so you might notice that if you set TERM to 'screen' things don't work right. This is especially true when you want to use terminal multiplexers like screen or [[http://tmux.sourceforge.net/|tmux]].
 Screen itself comes with a termcap entry. If you install using the sunfreeware package, the termcap file will be: ''/usr/local/doc/screen/terminfo/screencap''.\\
 Otherwise, you can download {{:tips:solaris:screencap.txt|this one}}.

 //Note: Make sure you're running ''/usr/bin/tic'', not ''/usr/local/bin/tic'' (comes with some sunfreeware package). The ''/usr/local/bin/tic'' will write it's terminfo file to ''/usr/local/share/terminfo'' which isn't used by any shell I've tried, not by default anyway. Something to keep in mind.//
