Sounds like you're running out of colors, probably because you're running X with a bpp depth of 8. Though that can happen with higher bpps. Sounds like you've got a new machine, so you ought to be able to do 32 bpp unless you're video card isn't well supported. Check your /etc/X11/XF86Config for the "DefaultColorDepth" line. -- +----------------------------------------------------+ | Eric G.
