Hi Dieter and others, can you try this instead? Doing set_palette() (and set_origin too if we are talking about it) before con_switch is severely broken. Old code, before moving set_palette, did set_palette unconditionally even when KD_GRAPHICS. Code below restores this behavior, but still does set_palette() after console switch. Please tell me whether it fixes your problem too (if not, then X server must be fixed... if yes, then I believe that this is THE ONE CORRECT PATCH (tm)). Best regards, Petr Vandrovec vandrove@vc.cvut.cz
