I'm not an expert on this, but I have experienced similar problems, and that is the only reason I am even offering help. :-) In /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 on my system (and yours too, most likely) is a file called rgb.txt. This is where color names are mapped to RGB values. Make sure this file is not corrupt and is world readable, and all of the "missing" color names appear in it. I'm not sure why it would work OK and then later have problems, though. A 16-bit color depth is still a "palleted" mode, so give 24-bit a try and see if the problems disappear for good. If not, there is some other underlying problem which I would have no clue about. --- Chris Dillon --- cdillon@inter-linc.net --- Powered by FreeBSD, the best operating system on the planet for Intel x86 based computers (and soon Sparcs). ---- (http://www.freebsd.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe current" in the body of the message
