Not a bug in xterm, but a limitation of the X libraries. http://invisible-island.net/xterm/xterm.log.html#xterm_188 Patch #188 - 2004/5/12 - XFree86 4.4.99.6
modify initialization of 256- and 88-colors so that colors beyond 16 are normally not X resources. This works around a hard-coded limit in Xt which breaks xterm when 256-colors and luit are both configured (report by Noah Friedman). -- xterm ignores VT100 widget resources color16 through color255 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/438850 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xterm in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
