More colours on framebuffer console ?



Hi
I'm not subscribed to this list, but follows it on a news group
because of the e-mail policy of my Isp

I have been trying to get more than 16 colours in vim
on the console. As a beginner that is way beyond my
capabilities. I configured the kernel to use framebuffer
(2.4.4 + rivafb) and it looks really nice, except for the
cursor after exiting from X. (4 characters x 2 lines)

In x-term i have configured vim with 256 colours but in
X I prefer the GUI version.

As an experiment I tried jfbterm and that is a very promising
package, sadly it lacks documentation, and it is only supporting
fb16. But it does cure the cursor problem.

The real question is, does anybody work on something similar
to jfbterm, regarding more colours ?
Any input on how to proceed is most welcome.
