Hello,

Don't know the cause of your problem, but you might mitigate it by creating
a .Xresources file in your home like this below:

$ vi ~/.Xresources
XTerm*background: #ffffff
XTerm*foreground: #000000

(NOTE: Above, you can specify colors you like)

Then logout and login, and your xterm should work

Best,

-- Marco
