Subject: [gentoo-user] vim colorschemes: A question regarding terminal capabilities

1 I am playing around with colorschemes in vim and came across a problem: It seems impossible to change the fore-/background color of the cursor itself.
2 $TERM is xterm-256color and vim itself offers settings for the color of the cursor. Different colortests for terminals validate that the terminal is able to display 256 colors.

4 Is there something special terminal-wise when setting cursor colors ?
5 Why does it fail?

7 Thanks a lot in advance for any help!
