Very Computer

Previously I had it in color, with the Slackware 2.3 install of 1.2.8

Both cds had the 2.1 release of Midnight Commander. My
usr/lib/terminfo/l directory has a linux terminal description.

The rest of the terminal works with the correct colors(ls is in color,
etc). If I open an x terminal, Midnight Commander does not work right
there, either, both with a color xterm and a mono one. The help file
for Midnight Commander suggests that I can set colors using the
environmental variable MC_COLOR_TABLE but does not go into specifics,
and also says I can edit my .mc.ini file(also not too specific).

I did not have to go through anything like this previously, I would
assume it would use the default color scheme.
It's like it is using a translation table for the colors, but I don't
get it. Is it using some other library that is corrupt, that is not
being used by any other program?

Any tips?

Not an answer unfortunately, but I have exactly the same problem since
downloading and untarring linuxconf-1.3.bin-aout.tar.gz from sunsite.
The problem appeared before the new linuxconf was run the first time.

There is something broken in this version - just get the newer one from sunsite
and it will work

: I did a complete install of 1.2.13 from the Walnut Creek Slackware 3.0
: cd, and now Midnight Commander only works properly if I force it to
: Black+White mode(otherwise it is B+W with no highlighting).

Nothing to do here with mc v2.x !
I've updated from a new version -> mc v3.0
you can find this on a sunsite cdrom from slakware 3.0
very good now !!!!
good luck , Tony
