Hello again~
Just a reminder for the list that I am not actually on it; I simply don't
have the time to delete every message. For those who wish to reply, please
respond directly to my email addy.
That said...
John: I attempted to run the xf86config program, but it didn't help. The
exact message I get from Netscape is this:
Netscape: Error
Visual 0x23 is a 4 bit PseudoColor visual. This is not a supported visual;
images will be displayed in monochrome.
Currently supported visuals are:
StaticGray, all depths
GrayScale, all depths
TrueColor, depth 8 or greater
StaticColor, depth 8 or greater
PseudoColor, depth 8 or greater
If you have any of the above visuals (see 'xdpyinfo')
it is recommended that you start Netscape with the
'-visual' command-line option to specify one.
More visuals may be directly supported in the future;
your feedback is welcome.
----------------------------
Any ideas on what to do? Anyone?
Thank you for your help.
sincerely,
~Dan
P.S. ~ I really don't mind the lack of colors so much; it's just
that I cannot check my regular ISP-given email addy because the
same message pops up when I click 'get mail' in the Netscape
Messenger client. IF there's a way around that, maybe that would
work if my colors won't?
without a clue,
~Dann
