| Linux console | `TERM=linux` | 8 (512 glyph fonts) or 16 (256 glyph fonts) colors max, but RGB values are downsampled to a 256-index palette (see below). |
| Linux console | `TERM=linux``COLORTERM=24bit`| 8 (512 glyph fonts) or 16 (256 glyph fonts) colors max, but RGB values are downsampled to a 256-index palette (see below). |
| kmscon | `TERM=xterm-256color` | No RGB color AFAICT, nor any distinct terminfo entry. |
| XTerm | `TERM=xterm-256color``COLORTERM=24bit` | Must configure with `--enable-direct-color`. `TERM=xterm-direct` seems to have the undesirable effect of mapping low RGB values to a palette; I don't yet understand this well. The problem is not seen with the specified configuration. Sixel support when built with `--enable-sixel-graphics` and run in vt340 mode. |
