FreeBSD 2.2.5 was running in 256 (8bits) and Netscape worked fine.
FreeBSD 2.2.6 is  running in 256 (8bits) also, and Netscape does not work.

I overwrote the configuration, I made a new one, it did not work. 
I restored the old one (I had a backup), it did not work either.

I ran FreeBSD 2.2.6 in 16 bits mode also.  I did not work either.

[I mean, all these configuration had the same behaivour with Netscape]

I did not touch "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers"

My video card is a Trident 9680 and it is using the XF86_SVGA server.

Thanks Mr. White, I was told that the new version of Netscape (4.05)
works fine, I downloaded it.  It worked fine.

I found it in:

ftp://ftp11.netscape.com/pub/communicator/4.05/development/english/unix/freebsd

It worked not only in 8 bits mode, it also worked in 16 bits mode.
It looks great!

Thank you very much!
