Hi, I've got help so quickly the last time I tried, I'll try again, this time with something entirely different.
I'm using emacs in coloring mode in remote (from OS X) ssh terminal sessions for quite some time, and from the start have been suffering problem with emacs using some default gnome-gtk coloring scheme or whatever which resulted in a grey background instead of the configured white one. I've updrade to snv_133 a few days ago, since then it's unusable, cf: <http://www.rsrc.de/tmp/emacs%20in%20Terminal.jpg> Note: this is without any .emacs file in place (moved away). I've found one reference to this problem [1], have googled quite some time for a solution, without success. I'm really not an expert neither for the X side of things and friends nor for configuring emacs in all its glory. I've started emacs -nw from truss in order to give a clue on which config file it is consuming, but couldn't find any. It's reading "/usr/share/lib/terminfo//x/xterm-color" of course as my TERM is set to xterm-color, but nothing else suspicious. A manually compiled emacs (latest stable) shows the same bad colors. I've of course moved away my custom .emacs file for all this tests. Anybody? I guess I will be asking for help at emacs at gnu.org directly if nobody here has an idea. Thanks! -Frank [1] <http://forums.opensolaris.com/message.jspa?messageID=976>
