Not displaying the right colors in browser with nm2360 chip

(1/2) > >>

Hello everyone!

I'm new here and it might not be a bug. I might just need another driver to my computers graphic chip. The thing is that I have 1024x768x16 in resolution and color but it seems to me that the system is trying to show 1024x768x24 instead of 16 as it should be. I have a neomagic 2360 chip in a dell latitude CS 500. I have tried to solve it but I just can't. So if anyone know how to solve this problem I'd be most grateful because the colors in opera looks horrible. Thanks beforehand!

Have fun with TCL,

Juanito:
Are you using Xvesa or full X?

What does ~/.xsession say - x16 or x24?

meo:
Hi Juanito!

I started without boot codes and then the .xsession was 1024x768.32. I changed with the xvesasetup and now after restarting the wm I have 1024x768x16 but the colors are just as horrible as they were. So maybe there is a bug there or it isn't using the right driver. I wonder what to do next. Perhaps the solution would be to put up a full X. What do you think?

Have fun,

MODIFIED after c:a 40 minutes.

Hey meo,

Did you ever need to use xfbdev on that machine instead of XVesa?
I have a laptop that simply won't use XVesa , regardless of settings, but uses Xfbdev ok.

There is an Xfbdev extension available..

Hi ke4nt!

I haven't needed it before. I has always worked with xvesa. But it might be worth a shot. Thanks for the tip!

Have fun,
