Laptops :: Screen has yellow-ish tinge to it
I have done a DSL hdd install on my IBM Thinkpad 310ED. Everything is ok but the display has very poor color. There is a yellowish tinge to the display (only in DSL, not the IBM splash screen and not the DSL splash screen when booting from CD). Anybody have any idea how I can fix this?
I am guessing its the resolution/color depth but I am not sure how to set it (other than using vga=771 which is what I have it set to). Images are also poorly displayed (bad color).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott
Seems to suggest 640x460x16 as a start in:

Thanks for the responses. Here is what I found: I boot using cheatcode vga=771 and the colors are no good (this is what I have been doing). If I then run xsetup.sh and xsetup.sh and select xfbdev (which I selected during hdd install so I am pretty sure I am currently using this), and startx, everything is fine. Any ideas how I can keep these settings?
You should set up backup/restore (if you didn't already) and add the file .xserverrc to .filetool.lst
Once you have run xsetup.sh, you should see something approximately like the following in .xserverrc:
exec /usr/bin/X11/Xvesa -2button -mouse /dev/psaux -screen 1024x768 -shadow -nolisten tcp -I &>/dev/null
