Hi Marvin,

On my system, "gui_running" only distinguishes between Vim and gvim.

I put let my_has_gui_running = has("gui_running")  early in my
~/.vimrc file and did  :echo my_has_gui_running

In Vim run from the black and white tty text console, I get 0;
In Vim run insde of gnome-terminal, I also get 0;
In gvim, I get a 1

That's why it's not working. I'm trying to distinguish between tty
text mode and X mode.
Not between Vim and gvim.

Regards,
Steve
Ah, you want to distinguish between running in a terminal on a text
console and running in a terminal emulator under X.  Does this do what
you want?

if $DISPLAY == ""
        let is_x_terminal = 0
else
        let is_x_terminal = 1
endif

...Marvin

Thanks for your help Marvin.

Both in text console and in gnome-terminal, :echo $DISPLAY returns 0 (int, not a string) - still no difference between tty text mode and terminal emulator.

I have had some success using:

if &term=~'cons25'
    colorscheme myvim
elseif &term=~'xterm'
    set t_Co=256
    colorscheme calmar256-dark
endif

but the strange thing is, if $TERM is set to xterm and not xterm-256color, gkrellm locks up... something to do with the email part of it.

If I could just find where xterm is being set and change it to xterm-256color without altering tty mode's TERM settings (i.e. cons25) I'd be laughing.

Thx,
Steve
