Subject: xv-2.21 problems in mono mode.
Date: 22 Feb 1993 23:35:24 -0500

Hi. I have xv-2.21 and Linux 99pl47, with Xfree86 v 1.0Ya. When I try
to load test '.gif' files captured in 640x480x256 mode, the xv window
displays graphics, but undistinguishable. My setup is:
WD 80C11 VGA chip with 512K memory.
Fixed freq monitor with 31.5 Khz.

I have not been succesfull to make xfree work in any mode other than mono.

I was hoping xv would resize the image (it is dithering), can anyone tell
me if the new xfree1.2 has improved WD chip support ?

Any help would be appreciated.
