Right now I'm using xterm, but I dont like it as there is no auto complete support for commands for non root users, or is there a way to enable this.

ugh?
I think you are confusing the
shell and
terminal emulator.
Basically, a terminal just prints text, nothing more.
A shell is what allows you to input commands.
Are you using tcsh? Here are a few nice options to put in /etc/csh.cshrc, which is the systemwide startup file, there are many more options, see
tcsh(1) for more information.
Code:
set autolist # Show options when autocompleting
set prompt = "[%~]%# " # Show current dir.
set rprompt = "%m:%T" # Show date&hostname on right side
set promptchars="#R" # Use # for normal user and R for super
set autoexpand # Use history to aid expansion
set nobeep # Don't beep
set printexitvalue # Print exit value if >0
set filec # file completion
set rmstar # Ask for confermation is we do rm *
set history = 1024 # Keep 1024 items in history
set savehist = 1024 merge # Save history
set listjobs # List all jobs after ^Z
