I don't have color support in terminals under X

The topic pretty much says it all, I have no colors in any terminal under X but color support is perfect in text mode. How can I enable color support in the X based terminals. I have used several distros up to now, have spend quite some time using freebsd but never had such a problem...

Add

export TERM=xterm-color

to your .bashrc file
