Works fine here (tried w/ ufed, mc). You have some screenshot? Also, locale command output and /etc/conf.d/consolefont settings would be probably useful here.
Arg! Sorry. I keep messing this up! The problem is, that when executing ncurses-based programs, usually the screen gets covered with the foreground color. For example, when executing mutt or alsamixer, the screen becomes complete white. With other programs such as orpheus, only part of the screen becomes completely white. My first suspicion would be the ncurses library, but this problem developed right after an 'emerge -u world' in which xterm was updated from x11-terms/xterm-215 and ncurses was not updated. Also, changing the foreground color for XTerm in .Xresources affects this problem. See below. These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating world dependencies ..... done!

Ok, now I know it's not an ncurses problem.In the listing below, the directory 'Institute - Distort Yourself' shows up completely blocked out in white.

The only difference between xterm-215 and xterm-215-r1 is an optional feature which you have not activated. In which other programs do you get this problem?
A typescript file (from running the application in 'script') would show what is sent to xterm, and would help with the problem description.
So far, I've noticed this problem with alsamixer, orpheus, mutt, and when listing directories with ls, I can't see directories with the sticky bit enabled. I've tried the programs above with aterm, and I haven't had any problems. And like mentioned by Emanuele Giaquinta, it's most likely not xterm because I downgraded to the previous version and still have this problem. PS: I like how Emanuele is spelled. My name is Emmanuel. I bet it's even pronounced the same.
Created attachment 93159 [details] mutt executed within script Attached is the output of script when I executed mutt. I simply ran mutt, and exited.
I don't see anything odd in the typescript. I replayed it slowly to look for visual glitches, didn't see any (though the clearing operations near the end were noticeable). Colors look ok. You should be able to replay it (using slowcat in ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses ) on aterm and see normal behavior. "slowcat -9 typescript" would go very slowly - perhaps there is some point where X and xterm are not agreeing well, though a mechanism does not come to mind.
After using aterm for about a two weeks I tried xterm, and it segfaulted. So yesterday, I emerged x11-terms/xterm-216 with FEATURES="nostrip" and USE="debug" so I could use gdb to narrow down the problem, but now it works! But I don't know what fixed the problem.
Did xterm-216 segfault, or was that xterm-215?
(In reply to comment #11) > Did xterm-216 segfault, or was that xterm-215? > I believe it was xterm-216 that segfaulted. xterm-215 would run, but had visibility problems. But after re-emerging, xterm-216 started to work.
I'm not running x11-terms/xterm-219 and it's segfaulting, I tried downgrading back to 218, same problem. Here's the output of gdb (I compiled with USE="debug FEATURES="nostrip") $ gdb xterm GNU gdb 6.5 Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

The only places I see x_strcasecmp() used in VTInitialize() are against the locale resource's value. That is initialized to a nonnull value (which can be modified by your resource settings).

I don't think it matters (there should be no way to set a string resource to null using a resource-file - only from within the application). If you could modify the ebuild and make it have some debugging information, there would be more to see in the debugger. I normally use the configure --enable-trace option for this sort of thing (it makes xterm generate Trace-parent.out which includes the resource details). Even adding -g to the compile/link options would give more detail in the backtrace.

I don't understand this. Nothing useful shows up in gdb because xterm runs. Attached is the emerge process.

Running with your configure options, I do get a bug (will see). thanks
I'm running with gcc 4.1.2, and find that the -Os option causes the problem. Changing it to -O2 or -O3 works. Printing the loop index 'i' and/or the resource value works. This is the call on line 5613 of charproc.c which is breaking: if (!x_strcasecmp(wnew->screen.Acolors[i].resource, XtDefaultForeground)) { and since it works fine when I print the values, but not otherwise, it's a compiler bug as far as I'm concerned. If there's no printf's then 'i' is optimized away.
