TTY colors problem (only 8 @ vim + weird behaviour after x started)

Hi,

I've got a problem with my tty colors. Everything seems to work pretty ok, but I have two weird problems - one is that vim doesn't display colors properly. It seems like it supports only colors 0-7, no more. My vim scheme & zshrc (dunno if helpful) attached below:

scheme: mustangzill4.vim
zshrc: .zshrc

What's more, when I start X, tty colors seem to become totally messed up. I don't know where are those new color settings taken from, but they're changed somehow and stay like that till next reboot.

Any help/tip appreciated. Thanks in advance.

edit: I know that "2xx" colors won't work in linux terminal since it supports only 16colors, but even 16 colors don't work for me under vim.

Re: TTY colors problem (only 8 @ vim + weird behaviour after x started)

I just set up vim and my terminal (urxvt-256 via .Xdefaults) and I'm experiencing this. When I start X, TTY2 picks up a grey background. Just curious about how this configuration should affect a console...
EDIT:
Apparently this is less reproducible for me than I thought. After a system upgrade and subsequent reboot, this didn't happen again. Maybe the console liked vim's colors and decided to hold on for a while.
