Aaron:
Are you using kde shells (like kvt or konsole)? These set the TERM
variable to xterm-color. The /etc/DIR_COLORS files on my machine
(RedHat) did not contain a TERM entry for xterm-color and I therefore
was unable to get the color database to function for these shells.
I Added the TERM xterm-color entry to the file, rebooted (to get
the file contents into the database) and now works ok with kde.
Is this your problem?
Ciao
