As far as I know, the second asterisk in those lines should be a dot:
xterm*VT100.foreground: green
xterm*VT100.background: black
xterm*VT100.cursorColor: red
And... if you start X from the console, bypassing a login manager such
as gdm, you need to put those lines in ~/.Xdefaults instead of
~/.Xresources.
(At least, this was the situation a year ago - I suspect it has not
changed since then.)
