Hi, I get really bad colors running DSL. This is the first time I have run Linux, but I am a little annoyed.My monitor is a SAMTRON 76E and graaphics is on-board. Any help - thanks in advance. Posted by skaos on June 19 2004,13:14
You could try another colour depth. If that doesn't work, I don't think there is much you can do, many other people have reported similar problems; I have the same problem on a P133 laptop, it is slightly better with 4 bit colour, but then some of the programs doesn't work.

I've been using DSL 0.6.x - 0.7.1 on an old Dell OptiPlex with great results, but I tried it for the first time today on a new Dell 2.8GHz (don't know the model) at my wife's office - wacky colors w/ xvesa, 1024x768, 32-bit color. Next chance I get I'll try some other settings and report.---------- "As you can see, I am an old man." Fuad Ramses Posted by khurdp on Sep. 20 2005,01:18

If you are using the onboard intel eXtreme graphics device, you are limited to 800x600x16 with Xvesa.You might be able to get better with Xfbdev. ieg SUCKS. Also try Xfree86. -J.P. |
