Try changing to 8 bit. Karsten> xnest is your friend. Sadly, this is not the case. Xnest (at least in XF4) only gives you the visuals the underlying X server supplies. So, you can get Xnest to do 8bpp on a TrueColor X server only if the X server supplies *both* visuals (8bpp and 24/32bpp) at the same time. And there seems to be only one X server that does this: the one for Matrox cards (G400 only I think... pretty certainly no chips older than G200/400). Bye, J -- Jürgen A.

It may be trying to get a writable color map, but this is not possible under TrueColor (24/32 bits) where the color map is read-only. -- Eric G. Miller

What it is the meaning > of "Depth 16"? Just because you have depth 16 in there, it doesn't mean its running at that depth, try startx -- -bpp 16 and see if that fixes it, if not then try startx -- bpp 32. You can also put this in your XF86Conig, the line is: DefaultColorDepth 16 (or 32) Depth 16 means 16 bits per pixel which is something like 64000 colors, depth 32 is 32 bits per pixel, and is 16 million colors. pgpQhwGrsnViQ.pgp Description: PGP signature
