My current TERM variable is set to linux I also tried vt100 but that
seemed even worse.

The problem i have is when i run an ncurses application in the console
that when it draws a box or window  vertical lines start with a code
"1m" (without the "") I tried several terminfo files but that didnt
work I'm also using midnight commander and when i use vt100
it looks like rubbish.

Strangely enough when i run the ncurses app in xterm under Xwindows
everything seems fine

Can someone help me out here?

All help greatly appreciated.

what _does_ infocmp show?  This doesn't sound like any of the usual
bugs unless you have a $HOME/.terminfo directory - see my FAQ:

The current version of ncurses is 4.2
There's an faq at

Maybe your application uses /etc/termcap ?

Probably because TERM is set to xterm.
