X Terminals problem

In my newly installed 7.2-STABLE, any X Terminal (xterm, xfce's Terminal, eterm,...) is working in the wrong way, specially while I use vim (v. 7.2.209) in text mode (gvim works ok), it can't scroll, when I try to move the cursor after the last line on the screen, the status bar shows that the position is changing, but the screen doesn't scrolls.

Another issue is if I write a long line in the X terminal, instead of adding a LF at the end and continuing in the next line, it starts at the beginning of the same line.

My system's data:

Does anyone faced the same problems?, any workaround?.
