Laptops :: colours are washed out and limited

Another option for you is to do this:

Open an xterminal and type:

scite .xserverrc

and add the following to the command line of text:

-swaprgb

Make sure that it is entered before the "I" switch in the command line.

Also, you could install the full xwindow system if you are a hard drive user. Search the forums for more details.

I have a Dell 510m laptop with SXGA+ screen and intel 855GME intel graphics chipset.

Could someone tell me how to install Alan Pourier's 855resolution on a USB drive version of DSL?

I am hoping it will cure the above problem wrt low video resolution.

Thank you.
