I made some mistake. The problem "tput color -> 256; Emacs -> 256 but in
fact 8" only happens when I set TERM=xterm-256color, which is not the
case since I am actually using fbterm.


When I set TERM=fbterm. "tput color" also reports 256; while in Emacs
list-color-display just shows 8 colors. The issue remains.


BTW, the other color names are (when TERM=xterm-256color):
brightblack	       brightblack							      #7f7f7f
brightred	       brightred							      #ff0000
brightgreen	       brightgreen							      #00ff00
brightyellow	       brightyellow							      #ffff00
brightblue	       brightblue							      #5c5cff
brightmagenta	       brightmagenta							      #ff00ff
brightcyan	       brightcyan							      #00ffff
brightwhite	       brightwhite							      #ffffff
color-16	       color-16								      #000000
color-17	       color-17								      #00005f
...
color-255	       color-255							      #eeeeee

How can I tell which lisp/term/*.el is loaded?
