But one would expect that even more memory would be needed for 32-bit mode, since twice as much space is required for each bit. The video card is Diamond Viper 330 (NVidia-128 chip), with SVGA X-server, X11 3.3.6. -- Arcady Genkin Don't read everything you believe.

For whatever reason screenshots didn't work under 16-bit, neigther with gimp, nor with xv. -- Arcady Genkin Don't read everything you believe.
Repost: messed up screenshots
I have posted about this in the past, but the problem is still not solved. It's not that I need to do screenshots often, but... when I do, they come up all messed up: some colors are missing, etc. For an example please refer to http://www.thpoon.com/tmp/screen.jpg As you can see, the background came out totally black, whereas it's WindowMaker's default blueish BG. Also, the Gimp's own window is quite seriously messed up. The text in the terminal window is not visible. Also, if you look at the second icon down in the top-left courner, you'll notice a line separating two areas of different brightness. I'm using Gimp 1.1.29, but the same thing has been happening with 1.0.X. The system is Debian 2.2 with stock XFree 3.3.6 IIRC. Any help greately appreciated! -- Arcady Genkin Don't read everything you believe.

Increasing delay doesn't help. Any other ideas? -- Arcady Genkin http://www.thpoon.com Don't read everything you believe.
