RE: xterm shows no color for color fonts

[Haibing Ma <haibing_ma at yahoo dot com>]

Thanks for your reply.

I checked /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-color, it looks fine to me. I
also tried /usr/bin/ls --color=always, it shows no color in xterm. I
tried rxvt, it works fine. 

Any other clue?

I think rxvt is fine with me, the only problem is that the HOME key
doesn't work.
