The xterm terminal type is now identical to xterm-color and has been
since April, including on the RELENG_4 branch.
If you're running 4.8-STABLE or one of the releases from before that
date, you can use this setting in your .Xdefaults to change the
terminal type to xterm-color by default:
xterm*termName: xterm-color
but you should make sure that you run something like:
[ -f ${HOME}/.Xdefaults ] && /usr/X11R6/bin/xrdb -merge ${HOME}/.Xdefaults
in your ~/.xsession or ~/.xinitrc
Cheers,
Matthew
