Terminfo is fine, is the console that should be configured to do so. Add
this to /etc/profile (or user's equivalent):
echo -ne \\033[1\;6]
I think this kind of things should be included by default... but some
seem to think that the configuration should be minimal... (I don't
agree... A user with knowledge can change every configuration detail, but
new users are forced to live with ugly colors, no dir in the bash promptm
no support for LESSPIPE...)
