Hi there

I have updatet to
xorg-server-6.8.1_1 X.Org X server and related programs via FreeBSD 
Ports..

..but it is still not possible to get more the 8 bit color on the sony 
c1ve.
the vesa driver is fine in 640x480 but it is not possible to have it 
with 1024x480 on this machine...

any other ideas ?
could it work with xfree86 instead of xorg ?

thanx a lot,
HAVE FUN and
with my best regardz
ronny

Thanks Joe I will try to upgrade. My experience was the same, in that 
the
problem tracked X (both projects) across several levels of 4.x and 5.x.

The vesa drive works okay, but I miss the larger screen and better font
rendering.
