Package: xterm
Version: 222-1
Severity: normal
Emacs and XEmacs don't recognize that an xterm supports 256 colors,
even when TERM is set to "xterm-256color". I'm not sure if this is a
bug in "xterm", "ncurses-term", or the Emacs/XEmacs packages. To
reproduce the bug:
xterm% TERM=xterm-256color xemacs -nw
and then, from within XEmacs (or Emacs):
M-x list-colors-display
Only 16 colors are displayed. I verified that the xterm supports 256
colors by running the "256colors2.pl" script that is included with the
source package.
