But I attempted to setup Xwindows, in BDSI 2.1, and whenever it starts, everything on the bottom "button" bar, is black except the clock, and the newspaper ( news reader option). We have a P120 box, with 64 meg of ram, Diamond Stealth 64 PCI 2 meg Video card. I swear I ran xsetup at least 100 times, but cannot seem to get the "right" combination to see anything further. Am I "missing" something? Why is everything blacked out? And why can I not find an option anywhere to change it to something visible? If I mouse up to the upper left hand corner, and click, it is giving me an obvious pulldown menu, BUT I cant see anything other than a black rectangle. And when I start Netscape in a window it says: netscape: locale`ISO8859-1' not supported by Xlib; Trying `C' . Warning: cannot allocate colormap entry for "#B2B2B2" Warning : Cannot allocate colormap entry for "#0000EE" Warning cannot allocate colormap entry for "#551A8B" Warning cannot allocate colormap entry for "#FF0000" Warning cannot allocate colormap entry for "#FFFFCC" Warning cannot allocate colormap entry for "#C0C0C0" Warning cannot allocate colormap entry for "#0000BF" Warning cannot allocate colormap entry for "green" Warning cannot allocate colormap entry for "red" Warning cannot alloacte colormap entry for "#D3B5B5" Warning cannot allocate colormap entry for "#69B5B5" Then, when that is done with, Netscape comes up and says " Visual 0x20 is a 4 bit Psuedo Color visual. this is not a supported visual; images will be displayed in monochrome. I may be dense, but it is apparant i am overlooking something. Would anyone be so kind as to guide me down the proper path of correcting this? Any replies email to tysman@europa.com would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Rich Grimek tysman@europa.com
