Public bug reported:

Hi!

I have installed the 96 version to Nvidia drivers trough the
Administration -> Hardware drivers -> Propieritary drivers -> enable
them.


The installation there went well. Did a reboot of my computer. Worked. Loged into desktop. Worked. BUT with WRONG colors!

It looks like some sort of, I dont know.. 256 colors only?

It says 16 million in Nvidias Xserver configuration Utility, but it
doesnt look like it! Somthing like 256 colors more like it.. :(


Ive changed to 3d-effects and that worked to enable. But that gives me still the "256 colors bug"..

I feel like colorblind at the moment only seeing some colors..


The speed seems to have increased from before Ive activated the propiertary drivers. But then I had full colors..
