Not sure, I don't know mozilla *that* well :-) > I have no other machine without mozilla I'm afraid so I can't do that. Uh, you misunderstood me there. I meant 'where no mozilla is running'. If you fire up mozilla, it'll check whether a mozilla has a window on the X server where you want it to appear; if one does, it will signal that other mozilla through the X server to open another window, which is not the idea. To avoid that, you have to make sure no mozilla is *running* with its $DISPLAY set to your X server before you fire up mozilla on the m68k box. > It > seems strange to me that it hasn't enough colours but I suppose I can try > start it in 24 bit instead of 16 as I do now to see if that makes any > change. In that case it's probably not the colormap :-) However, that does not mean it couldn't be a limitation the X server has; it could very well be some bug in the X server, a certain feature which isn't supported on m68k but which is needed by mozilla, or something similar. I don't think chances are high this is the case, but as it's easy to check, it'd be nice if you could do so. -- Wouter Verhelst Debian GNU/Linux -- http://www.debian.org Nederlandstalige Linux-documentatie -- http://nl.linux.org "An expert can usually spot the difference between a fake charge and a full one, but there are plenty of dead experts." -- National Geographic Channel, in a documentary about large African beasts.
