tty09 - tty12 do not show ansi colors correctly


After adding tty09 through tty12 to /etc/inittab on readhat 9.0 system:

pk01:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty9
pk02:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty10
pk03:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty11
pk04:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty12

"ls" command will show distorted characters in correct ansi colors.

Was able to use ttys by adding TERM=linux-basic;export TERM

Then ls displays without any colors.

What is missing? Why do tty01 through tty08 work okay in color?

It might be a setting in your termcap file. I don't remember where that is. /etc/termcap?
