This is caused by the render module. One solution is to use a nVidia card with the driver from nVidia. They have an option in their driver 'NoRenderExtension' which disables the render module and gives you your precious colors in pseudocolor mode back! Another option is to rebuild the X server without render module. It is doable (I tested it) but the nVidia solution is much more elegant. > Met vriendelijke groet / Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind Regards, > H.J. ten Berge Test & Integration HITT Traffic Oude Apeldoornseweg 41-45 P.O.
