What bit depth are you trying to use? From what I recall 8-bit
color isn't quite supported, and the colors will look pretty funky. :-)
Also 24-bit may not be supported yet either... your only workable option
for now is 16-bit color and this isn't always easily obtainable on some
Macs' internal video. If you can get ahold of a Nubus video card capable
of driving 16-bit color that would be your best bet.
Also, please format your mails to word wrap between 72-80
characters/line. Pine doesn't like long lines. :-)
HTH,
Ryan

Any ideas why I'm getting the reversed color?
