    XMMS: All weird looking

    I just installed XMMS on debian and it looks horrible! It's half colored and the other half looks like messed up white digital paint. Anyone know how to fix this?

    It's possible that I am using 8bit but it sure doesn't look like it to me.
    All other apps look fine. Here is a screenshot ...

    Re:XMMS: All weird looking

    hi ash,
    i gots to agree - it does look like at least 16 bit... but lets make sure, does your xfree86 config have a depth of 8 defined and is it the default - here is mine.
    Code:
    Section "Screen"
        Identifier   "Screen0"
        Device       "NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX (generic)"
        Monitor      "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth    16

        Subsection "Display"
                Depth       24
                Modes       "1600x1200" "640x480" 
                ViewPort    0 0
        EndSubsection
        Subsection "Display"
                Depth       16
                Modes       "1600x1200" "640x480" 
                ViewPort    0 0
        EndSubsection

    Are they using a common library for grafix? That may be the problem - a corrupt graphics library...

    I'm not sure but it would seem that way. Same thing happens with TK applications (includding make xconfig for the kernel).

    Turns out it was a bad xlib (old version) that got written over via apt-get. XMMS looks fine now, now to see if Tk will work .....

    Yes!! It worked!
