What I am seeing is it takes longer to draw the screen in X when switching ttys and when it is redrawing the screen it looks like it is starting with 6 bit colors. Unfortunly I am not a programmer and don't have any experience with coding and when looking at kernel code I am at loss of what to do :( . I wish I can donate this PowerBook but when I am done, it has to return to a unveristy. :( Is Blaxland close to Canberra? I may know somone who is there but right now I don't know if he has a PB. -Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
