Look for the "256colors2.pl" perl color test script. It will help you verify 256 colors is *really* working. Many times I thought I had 256 colors, but until I tested the terminal using this script, I didn't know for sure. Also, VIM gets really finicky with 256 colors enabled when switching between virtual terminal and Xorg. On virtual terminals, colors are negated within the kernel level code, which still doesn't do 256 color term. However, framebuffer has tons of colors, but still doesn't support 256 terminal colors ... again, it's kernel level code that apparently needs fixing. (?) -- Roger http://rogerx.freeshell.org/
