Where is your real terminfo db? (try locate -b terminfo or locate -b xterm). One possible place is /lib/terminfo.

"xterm" on xfce is the right value for $TERM.

Otherwise, the fields will be printed several to a line to a maximum width of 60 charac- ters. -w change the output to width characters. FILES
