 tmux also depends on several features of the client terminal (TERM), if these
 are missing it may refuse to run, or not behave correctly. It is possible to
 emulate some of these but tmux does not do this at present. Known working are
-TERM=screen (tmux in screen), xterm, xterm-color and rxvt.

+(and screen) relies on an AX term capability to detect if the terminal
+supports "default" (transparent) foreground and background colours. On OpenBSD,
+TERM=xterm and TERM=xterm-color lack this; TERM=rxvt does have it and works fine
