XFree.conf... HAH! I remember hand editing the termcaps and printcaps files. THOSE were an improvement from what I gather.
N00b. I'm the *author* of (I think) six terminfo/termcap entries, at least two of which still ship with ncurses. :-D
(My DEC VT220, VT320 & VT420 entries were more complete, less buggy, and faster than the official DEC versions, because apparently no-one on the ULTRIX team ever bothered to read the !@#$%^&* reference manual for those terminals. The official versions remain in place, however, because they were, well, official.)
OTOH, I never had to do printcaps.
