I've been playing around with my xf86config and my window manager (afterstep) for a while trying to get images to appear as nice as when I view them in Windows. I have a ATI Rage IIc AGP with 8 Mb of RAM and I run X windows at 24 bpp and a resolution of 1024x768. My problem is that Netscape has trouble "allocating a colour map entry for the background" and jpegs and such all appear grainy no matter what program I use to view them with. I've limited my wharf to 5 colour unintensive icons, since any more would not appear when the wharf was started. Also, I just have a plain blue background for my root window.
Can anyone tell me what needs to be done so that I can get more colours on my screen? Thanks in advance Brent McMillan
