vim color in xim !

A few days ago I installed archlinux.
untill now, I coud't solve this problem..
When I run vim in xterm, " syntax on" don't apply initially.
And when I type " : syntax on", color dosen't appeared but underlined...
However In Eterm and gvim the color of vim work well ...
I prefer vim in xterm to gvim.... What should I do??

Re: vim color in xim !

export TERM=xterm-color

should do the trick. If it does, put it in your ~/.bashrc

Re: vim color in xim !

ummm it works for me...

export TERM=xterm-color
vim

or

TERM=xterm-color vim

if you want syntax on by default, add "set syntax on" in your vimrc

That's likely cuz you need to relogin to make any changes in .bahsrc
having an effect.

Re: vim color in xim !

Oops...
I 've got another problem..
Whenever I run xterm or xfterm, " TERM=xterm-color " come back to "TERM=xterm.."
So every time I run xterm, every time "export TERM=xterm-color"
.initrc .config/xft4/xinitrc etc...... I try everything....  but all useless...

I can use Eterm..  It support good color.. but I can't see asian language(korean)

Re: vim color in xim !

for xterm, configure it in .Xdefaults

xterm*termName: xterm-color
