I see you spotted my typing error. Yes it is the 2.6.10-rc1-bk6 kernel. The oter error is the 2.2.8.1. It should be 2.6.8.1. The cgthree driver does not currently set up the all->info.var.red, all->info.var.green or all->info.var.blue structures. Putting a value of 8 in the length field of these structures (correct for the cgthree) does get me my logo back but I am still getting black on black text. It makes it very difficult to read. It is begining to look like there is something werid going on with the colour pallet stuf for PSEUDO_COLOUR. Regards Mark Fortescue. On Sat, 30 Oct 2004, Antonino A.
