Hello misc@, I stumbled across a problem with all X terminal emulators in OpenBSD (that is xterm and aterm, eterm and rxvt from ports). None of the above seems to support 256 colors. I tried various combinations of $TERM (xterm, xterm-color, xterm-xfree86, xterm-256color) with all the terminals, running and not running screen.
I need the 256 color support for the superb vim colorscheme (actually it is more than just colors) xterm16[0], and no gvim is not an option because I don't like GUIs that much. I googled for about 3 hours last night, but without a definite answer whether OpenBSD supports 256colors in terminal under X. The argument I read (sorry can't seem to find the link anymore) was that the 256color support had some issues and was removed. Does OpenBSD support 256colors? BTW. I'm running amd64 STABLE, but I can reproduce the same behavior on i386 current (1 month old). Regards, ahb [0] http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=795
