Never mind, it's not a bug. I found there's VT100 color settings in /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-color. To make an xterm look like a linux console, change these settings: *VT100*color0: black *VT100*color1: red *VT100*color2: green *VT100*color3: yellow . . etc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
