Hello all, I've an odd problem with rxvt-unicode patched to use 256 colours (which works fine, incidentally) running with GNU Screen (also compiled to use 256 colours). Since running GNU Screen under XTerm works just fine using 256 colours, and fails using rxvt-unicode, I am asking here since this is the logical place.
Basically, the following screenshot sums up the problem: http://edulinux.homeunix.org/~n6tadam/ss/screen-difference.png The top urxvt instance shows a normal urxvt (i.e., not running screen) which has the full 256 colour palette. The lower one shows the problem -- that's GNU Screen with the TERM type set to screen-256color. I believe that's showing a colour palette for 88 colours. Not what I want. I have tried setting my TERM type both before I run screen (such as to rxvt-256color) and during screen (rxvt-256color, xterm-256color, etc) to no avail ---- no matter what I do I can't get 256 colours in screen under rxvt-unicode. If I use xterm, run screen, set the TERM=xterm-256color, all is right with the world. Where do I start trying to work out how to fix this? What's even more surprising is that at work, urxvt patched to use 256 colours works *fine*. I run: TERM=screen-256color screen And I am away -- it just works fine. I have no idea why this works --- it's most strange. AFAIK, I am not doing anything different at work that I am on my home machine. Where do I start looking to diagnose this? Any pointers would be greatful. I am running rxvt-unicode (urxvt) v9.05.
