What makes you think this? 64 colors is an impossible value. Possible values include: 2 (XF86_Mono), 16 (XF86_VGA16), 256, 65536, 16777216 (remaining servers, not all variants supported with all cards). Have you read all the README's, and made sure you've got the X server matching your hardware? -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
