Other Help Topics :: Color Problems

it seems as though I have a color problem...pretty much every picture inlcuding my backround has green somwhere in it...the logo is green the DHL letters are red....hmmmm

anyone know of any solutions?

(I am using cdrom boot by the way...I also did have a problem with the display settings...It couldent detect it....maybe I shoud keep trying the settings to see if it works....I will update if/when I get it working properly)

Try this:

Hit CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE to exit Xwindows.

Type:

nano .xserverrc

Change this part of the command line. where it says:

Xvesa

replace with:

Xvesa -swaprgb

Leave the rest of the line intact.

Save the file (Control-O) and exit the program (Control-X)

Then type:

startx

and hopefully things look a little better.

actually, just exit X with CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE and run xsetup.sh

set it up to the correct resolution. by default, it is 1024x768 with 32 bit color.

you might try 800x600 with 16 bit color.
