I also observered other values(mostly > 0xA), so the patch will fail then. indeed of course we can unconditionally use default palette. i believe there are no programs that run on Indy and change palette in console mode.

Can file it as a wishlist bug against > xserver-xfree86? i think it would be better to submit it with ifdefs to xfree so it would work on other linux distrubutions. also, i checked netbsd sources, it looks like they use only serial console now. -- Dominik Behr _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
