This is true, I forgot to mention this (well, it entered my mind, but since I only run X in 16/32bit, I don't know too much about the handling of colour shortages). The few times I've run X in 8bit mode, (using E!) it has looked quite nice (much better than trying a similar thing in Windows), though. -- Matthew Gregan [EMAIL PROTECTED]
