The direct detection of neutralino dark matter is analysed within the context of orbifold scenarios from the heterotic superstring. In particular, the neutralino-proton cross section is computed and compared with the sensitivity of detectors, taking into account the most recent experimental and astrophysical constraints. In addition to the usual non-universalities of the soft terms in orbifold compactifications, due to their modular weight dependence, the contribution of a D-term, generated by the presence of an anomalous U(1) is also investigated. The D-term contribution provides more flexibility in the non-universalities, and is crucial in avoiding dangerous charge and colour-breaking minima. Thanks to it, large neutralino detection cross sections can be obtained in regions of the parameter space fulfilling all experimental and astrophysical constraints.
