There are two possiblites: 1. You are running in 8bpp "pesudo-color" mode. If this is the case, you can do one of two things: a. Incrase the color depth of your display (in /etc/XF86Config) b. Run Netscape with a local colormap (netscape -install), however this will result in some colormap flashing when you move your cursor in and out of the netscape window. 2. You are running 24bpp mode. Netscape has a bug that prevents it from working correctly in this mode. Try dropping down to 16bpp in /etc/XF86Config. -- _ _ _ ___ ____ ___ ______________________________________ / \/ \ | ||_ _|| _ \|___| | Jason Andresen -- jandrese@mitre.org / /\/\ \ | | | | | |/ /|_|_ | Views expressed may not reflect those /_/ \_\|_| |_| |_|\_\|___| | of the Mitre Corporation.
