Very Computer

Just dl'ed LinuxPPC-lite and installed it on a PowerMac 9500/200.
Everything worked perfectly and the system booted into KDE. But it
seems as if I only have 4 colors on the screen. Wich kernel arguments
can I pass to set the color-depth? Any other way of solving this?

I am using BootX and its great - no more fiddling with OF...

TIA,
Henrik.

On most machines, just check the "No video driver" box in BootX and KDE
will inherit whatever video settings you had made under MacOS. Don't know
if this will work on your 9500 as it's one of the few models with no
built-in video, but might be worth a try if you haven't done so already...

Well, I've done that - Linux won't show anything on the screen if the
"No video driver" is not used. It seems as if Linux does recognize the
correct colordepth - I can set the colordepth from the shell, KDE just
don't use more than 4 colors? Is there some way to set the color-depth
KDE should use?
