Hi fbterm uses some weird escape sequence to set 256 colours instead of the normal \033[38;5;Nm ANSI ones which are currently hardcoded into tmux.
tmux could now probably use setaf and setab from terminfo for 256 colours instead of hardcoding these, please see if this works: diff --git a/tty.c b/tty.c index 98f603f..13a9cd2 100644 --- a/tty.c +++ b/tty.c @@ -1586,8 +1586,15 @@ tty_try_256(struct tty *tty, u_char colour, const char *type) !(tty->term_flags & TERM_256COLOURS)) return (-1); +#if 0 xsnprintf(s, sizeof s, "\033[%s;5;%hhum", type, colour); tty_puts(tty, s); +#else + if (*type == '3') + tty_putcode1(tty, TTYC_SETAF, colour); + else + tty_putcode1(tty, TTYC_SETAB, colour); +#endif return (0); } On Wed, Jan 15, 2014 at 09:28:50PM -0800, Lawrence Jacob Siebert wrote: > On Linux Mint (largely based on Ubuntu) I can switch to a virtual tty > console with Ctrl Alt F1. *I can use a program called fbterm to get 256 > colors using a framebuffer (it requires a minor tweak in my kernel > settings in grub, but that's it)... and screen works with it, so I can get > 256 colors in screen in the console. > But try as I might, I can't figure out how to do this in tmux. *And I love > tmux, so I'd prefer to use it instead of screen, if at all possible. * > Can anyone give me some help? * > Thanks, > Lawrence Siebert > About Me:*[1]http://about.me/lawrencesiebert > Constantly Coding:*[2]http://constantcoding.blogspot.com > > References > > Visible links > 1. http://about.me/lawrencesiebert > 2. http://constantcoding.blogspot.com/ > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services. > Learn Why More Businesses Are Choosing CenturyLink Cloud For > Critical Workloads, Development Environments & Everything In Between. > Get a Quote or Start a Free Trial Today. > http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/clk?id=119420431&iu=/4140/ostg.clktrk > _______________________________________________ > tmux-users mailing list > tmux-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tmux-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.
