Video now looks like 8 color mode....
On 30th July, I did an update/upgrade on Ubuntu-16.04. I should have
known better when it wanted to update X-server and Grub on the same
shot....Computer boots OK stops at TDM login screen..normal. but the
graphics in the background picture look awful. Login to trinity, all
graphics look like 8 color on background anything that I run, including
Xine and VLC , 8 color. To go further, CNTL+ALT+F1 or F2-6, the screen
is wrong there also. F1 will give you the book up sequence, but all that
you can see is OK in faint video. It does let you log in, blindly, and
my color prompt is there, but cannot read any other text. It does exec
the app (ls) some owner/privlege info shows but there is missing text.
Story continues...
From the TDM login, I can select Ubuntu's GUI, and as is starts to load
you can see TDMs background picture display properly for a couple
seconds, and Gnome or whatever it is has all the proper graphics,
everything runs properly. CNTL+ALT+F1 thru6 all display properly.
So why would Gnome work and TDM/Trinity look crappy? I suspect something
in Xorg.
