I'm running amd64 STABLE, but I can reproduce the same behavior on i386 current (1 month old). Regards, ahb [0] http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=795 -- viq

Check simple test scripts at http://frexx.de/xterm-256-notes/ - at least you will have answers if colors work properly.
