I run Emacs on a laptop with Mandrke 9.0. I can change the colors once Emacs is opened: M-x set-background-color, etc. but the commnd line options -fg and -bg do not work: emacs -fg gray60 -bg black filename & opens emacs as if the options were not put in. Could you please check if this is a bug or if I'm just doing something wrong. I can not reproduce this. Maybe you override these values in your .emacs. What happens if you run emacs -q -fg gray60 -bg black filename & Sincerely, Luc.
