I'm a FreeBSD newbie. When configuring XFree86, I found ONLY 8-bit color
mode works.

If I "startx" with a 16 or 32 bits mode, the colors on screen seemed to
be "mismapped" -- green replaced by red, etc. Things are ONLY normal in
8-bit mode.

I'm using: 
XFree86: Version 4.2.1 
Driver: "trident" 
ChipSet: "3dimage985"
(all from FreeBSD R4.7 disc) on my Trident 3DImage985 card.

Could anybody help me? Thank you.

W. Li
