It looks like you're running in 8-bit color mode. You
DEFINITELY need to select "16-bit" color mode. If you're
starting X from a console prompt start it as follows:
"startx -- -bpp 16" (cut and paste everything BETWEEN the
qoutation marks.) Since i'm too lazy to go edit my
XF86Config file, I have an alias in my .bashrc file which
I've called "sx" which is as follows:
alias sx='startx -- -bpp 16' (including quotes)
Try adding that to your .bashrc and then see if that fixes
your Netscape problem.
