Do you have the right color pitch set for your chipset (video card)? I
have linux 6.5 on a toshiba sattelite 220 and I had the same problems
with the X server. You should start with the lowest color pitch and
lowest resolution and work up.
My chipset is supposed to handle 24bpp but will not do it. The best I
can do is 16bpp. This looks just fine and works great! I believe that
16bpp is about 256,000 different colors. The trained human eye can see
about 2,500. The normal eye, not trained around 2,000, me about 750
because I,m colorblind!!!
