There are a lot of issues but none addresses problems with 24bpp (which I thought to be the 'natural' truecolor mode since this is 3x8 giving 8 bits/color, or 2^24 colors. Going to 32pp confines me to run <= 1024x768 but I prefer 1280x1024. OK, for the record: Running in 1024x768 and 32pp 'fixes' the problem with netscape 4.0[45] and Matrox Millenium MGA. > > > At 11:33 PM 4/3/98 -0500, spork wrote: > >By any chance are you running 24 bit color?
