mol works, but skewed colors

hello,

I have mol working on an ibook2 500mhz with 2.4.19-r6. I can now start up os9.1 and it works and looks good, until it is loaded. At this point the whole window containing the os9 desktop gets a green tint, and displays about three shades of green, a very ugly looking display.

If I change the colors in the mac control panel from millions to 256, then the display looks normal, (although 256 colors just really doesn't look that good).

I have tweeked the options in the config file in every way that I can possibly think, to no success.

Thanks in advance.

What cfolor depth are you running at in X (or console wherever you are running it from).. sounds like a mismatch

The color depth is set the same on both and I have tried different variations of this too. I upgraded today to the new version and still the same problem, so I assume it has something to do with my X configuration. I will play around with it some more and see but any suggestions would help. I think I will try running it on the console.

thanks,
kyle

In your Screen section, try adding "DefaultDepth 24".

Changing the color depth to 24 did work!

Thank you all very much for the help.
