Since then, I have lost all colors in the Netscape control buttons and icons. Netscape works fine, and the pages it displays are in full color. There are no other X-win programs running, except for a few xterms. Both machines ran 2.2.7 & Xfree86 3.3.2 previously, with Netscape working perfectly. I don't think the window manager has anything to do with the problem. We are able to duplicate the symptoms with TWM and Afterstep 1.0 - but also with no window manager at all (bare XF86_SVGA server). The two different machines, with two different video cards are: Computer 1: HP Vectra (PPro 200MHz) 128MB, Matrox Millenium PCI 8MB. Computer 2: HP Kayak XU (P-II 400MHz) 128MB, Matrox Millenium II AGP 8MB. Both machines have plenty of video memory, are set to display only in 1280x1024 mode with 24bpp. Is there a known problem with XF86 3.3.3 and Netscape (native FBSD binary)? The following versions of Netscape are known to be affected: 4.06, 4.07, and 4.5. Does anyone know what might be causing this?
