I'm writing this message from a live Knoppix disc running through my
atv, so I've gotten that far --- and I'm ready to install linux but
for one concern:
white = green
black = purple

Yes, no matter what linux liveCD i try, once X starts, everything that
is black is purple, and everything that should be white is green.

I saw on an earlier thread that some people said this was happening
and that unplugging and re-plugging the HDMI cable seemed to correct
the problem, but this is not the case for me.  Composite is worse; it
generates an entirely unstable image.

I've tried running Ubuntu Gutsy and Hardy, same color problems.  I've
tried installing the proprietary nvidia drivers on Hardy but whenever
I try to invoke either Synaptic or Aptitude, the system crashes.  I
also tried Fedora 10 but that will not even start X to run Anaconda
(worthy of note here, however, is that the ncurses installer is proper
colors)

Is this something that will correct itself if I install linux and get
the nvidia driver installed? or is there some fix that I should try
first?  I'd hate to install linux and not be able to get it working
right; my girlfriend would swiftly kill me were that to happen.

The version of atv I have is 160gb


Thanks in advance for any advice.
