My Xserver runs default "-weight 565" and I tried your 555 option. So I conclude that you're running X and Linux (RH6?) at 16 bpp with the correct colour spectrum in the Colormap. There must be something wrong with my local machine then. But I'm running the default RH6 though (upgraded some packages such as XFree 3.3.5). Is it my videocard: 4Mb S3-ViRGE chipset ??? May be I shouldn't bother the list any longer, if no other "16bpp-linux user" is having these problems with the Colormap. Rob.
