Hey folks-- XServer insists on rendering "solarized" colors in 16bpp mode. My experience has been that this usually results from bad color maps. I've tried just about everything I can think of, but without success. I've searched the archives, but couldn't find a thread discussing this problem. And I'm assuming that byte/bit ordering in the 16bit framebuffer is not an issue.
I'm not doing anything fancy with any configuration files. Anyone have any ideas? XFree86.0.log reports a 16 bit frame buffer (see excerpt below).
