Actually it sounds like you are using 8bpp color depth go up to 16 and that will solve your problems.

Try:
exec X :0 -auth $HOME/.Xauthority -bpp 16
in your $HOME/.xserverrc file (or -bpp 32 if your card can handle it)

Tony,
Good call! I used XF86Setup and cahanged to 16 bps. I am not sure why it was set to 8 bps. Netscape seems to be playing nicely with its neighbors now. :-) I attempted to understan my XF86Config. I read the associated man page as well. I still can figure out what it all means.
How do I determine things like my refresh rate and my resolution? I think I am at 1600X1280 X 16 bpp and 74 hz. I just don't know. What ever it is, my new ViewSonic, G810 beats the S#$0ut of my the ViewSonic 4e that I have been using for the last four years!
Thanks much.
Steve
