I had it set at 24 bits. Changing back to 15 restored the color. I'll get imwheel on this box too - makes you wonder why netscape requires it when nothing else does.

I have since tried both versions of the X server (3.3.6 4.1.0 - there appears to be no special advantage to using either one with my video card) which didn't make a difference. I've checked every setting I can think of but cannot find what has changed to cause the b/w icons in netscape. Also I've found that the wheel mouse still doesn't work in netscape though it does work everywhere else now. Does netscape still need imwheel like it did on the old 7.1 system? I know I could just switch to mozilla but netscape seems to launch faster - plus I'd really like to know why this is happening.

Check to insure that the imwheel rpm has been installed. I know I could just switch to mozilla but netscape seems to launch faster - plus I'd really like to know why this is happening.

When you lose the control of the mouse, try moving the wheel until you get the control. sometimes it works. saludos óscar. -- .-. oo| /`'\ Usuario de Linux Registrado #227443 (\_;/) http://counter.li.org/ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
