Interesting - it is certainly more plausible that the palette has been programmed incorrectly than X puts the wrong bit patterns into video memory. (8 bits per colour -> uses a hardware colour lookup table that can be reprogrammed, aka palette... 16 bits per colour -> splits pixel value into three fields of 5 or 6 bits, one for each primary colour, there is no lookup table, that is, no palette) -Peter _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
