I am using ubuntu 9.04 and GNU Emacs 22.2.1
I am using the terminal to load emacs i.e. emacs -nw
However, I am only running in 8 colours.
M-X list-colors-display
Only displays 8 colours.
In the terminal I run this command
tput colors and I get 8 displayed
How can I get full 256 colour support?
Many thanks for any advice,
Just testing on my Debian machine, I get the same as you (8 colours).
You don’t say whether you are using an xterm, but in my xterm I have typed
and then
emacs -nwfollowed bylist-colors-displayshows 256 colours.
