I've reinstalled mandrake 6 several times, and I have noticed that sometimes netscape looks normal, but other times with no apparent reason after I reinstall mandrake the color dissapears that's odd, isn't it? El dom, 12 sep 1999, escribiste: > im not sure, but if you find this out, please

How can I run FBDev Server? I have another computer with a video card not supported by XFree86 (Savage4 chipset), and it would be nice to run X on that machine.. I ask because that server is not listed in Xconfigurator, and running /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_BDev doesn't work El dom, 12 sep 1999, es

I believe I remember this bug. And I'm not aware of a true fix, but see if this helps (what I was told on another list when I asked this). Run X in another color depth, ie "startx -- -bpp 16" if you normally use startx. I forget what to change to make the default color depth be 16 all the tim
