I may need to clarify what I see at boot up.  First off, I'm using the LILO boot loader and the only boot image I can select is "Linux".  I tried to enter "fb800x600" and then "fb640x480" at the "boot:" prompt, but they both result in "No such image. [Tab] shows a list."

One of your other posts, cbagger01, lead me to an acceptable work around though.  I ran "Xvesa -listmodes" to display what my hardware could handle...basically 8 bit color is the max.  For some reason 8 bit still has odd colors.  Running with 4 bit color, while a bit less appealing, makes it so I can at least read the windows and see some of the pictures.

The only catch now is that dillo, flwriter, and many other applications don't open under 4 bit color.  I am however able to ssh to my Linux desktop and run firefox and openoffice remotely without any problems...better than nothing.
