Laptops :: Screen has yellow-ish tinge to it



I suppose "home/dsl/" already covers "home/dsl/.xserverrc" - don't know if that matters or not, though.

For backup/restore info, see:

or the first page that pops up under dillo.

btw, there's an edit button to avoid those double/triple forum posts.

So, if having "home/dsl/" inside my filetools.lst file saves the settings, then any ideas why this is not working?

This is very confusing since the colors are wrong when I boot, but simply opening a terminal window and typing 'startx' fixes the color (w/o running xsetup.sh first).

Its almost as if X has to be started a second time.?!

I'm guessing you're running 2 X sessions, one on the top of the other - so it'll just take up more resources.

Question: when you were testing with xsetup.sh , did you restart X or open another X session?

Yes, I am running 2 X sessions.

Yes, when testing with xsetup.sh I started another X session 'on top' of the current X session.  But I have found that I don't actually have to run the xsetup.sh to get it to work (i.e. allow desktop to boot, then open terminal and type 'startx' and all the colors are good).

To test the screen with just 1 X session with xsetup.sh, you can do:
1. run xsetup.sh, choose options
2. close X (ctrl+alt+backspace, or menu>Window manager>exit)
3. startx
4. If the screen is still messed up, repeat 1-3.
