>From slrn's README.debian:

If you want to run slrn in an xterm, slrn may say that your display
"isn't powerfull enough". This is not true, it just doesn't know how
to handle xterm. The problem is that the TERMCAP variable is set to
an invalid value, something like: "co#80:li#24:"

To fix this problem, simply clear the TERMCAP variable. Ie, run 
"unset TERMCAP"

(You may want to put this in ~/.bash_profile, or /etc/profile)

I hope this is solved in a later version of xterm or slang.
