I am using: SuSE 7.1, Kernel 2.2.18, XFree86 4.0.3 Video Card is: Trident 3DImage975 AGP My problem is that after starting XFree86 the background color of my text consoles changes from black to blue. Inside any window manager, if I try to change the desktop color to black I can not use RGB 0,0,0 because it shows up as blue. If I use RGB 1,1,1, I get black. I have to reboot to get back to the normal black background color for my text consoles because I haven't found a way to reset or refresh them. The documentation that I have read so far hasn't given me a clue on fixing this problem. Here is a link to some visual aides. http://www.nightbluesky.com/xserver.html I have tried changing the Framebuffer resolution by setting the lilo.conf option 'vga=' but that doesn't help. The problem happens in different window managers so I am assuming it is a problem with XFree86. I had this problem with XFree86 4.0.2 so I thought upgrading to the next version would fix it. Upgrading did not fix it. I am hoping there is a solution. Working the command line is nice but not very fun. Thanks in advance....... BAC
