Hmm... are you trying to tell me something? *g*

Definitely too long ;)

Indeed it's blue on my current as of last week.

Same here.

What color depth are you running at?  I wouldn't expect that anything
16-bit or higher wouldn't work well, at least.  -CURRENT usually works
great for gaming for me; I'm going through, e.g., Chrono Trigger my
second time now :)

I'd guess something may be taking up a HUGE amount of the palette,
unless you are running in 24-bit mode.  If it's not that, perhaps
it's the video card itself.  This is a rather strange problem to have.
