RE: Reversed/inverted colors

 Sorry, I know this is a bug in current version.
Hoefully it will be fixed once the X-server reads your Display settings from
Windows control panel.
I have no suggestions at the moment except to hack around with non-standard
values in rgb.txt... I am not sure what values.

Hello,

I have searched the archives with no success, so I'll ask here.

I have successfully installed Cygwin and the XWin server on my NT 4.0
system
(NT 4.0 [Build 1381 SP 6a], Gateway E-5200,
3DLabs Video adapter [GLINT R3/Oxygen VX1], Dell Trinitron [P1110]
monitor)

It's great!  It's Fast!  It's color confused.
It behaves as if the red/blue inputs are reversed.

By this I mean that an "xsetroot -solid red" gives a blue background,
  "xsetroot -solid blue" gives a red background,  while
  "xsetroot -solid green" gives a green background.
But it isn't that simple, because "xsetroot -solid dimgray" (which is
defined in rgb.txt as "105 105 105") gives a steelblue sort of color.

It is NOT monitor nor adapter-to-monitor cable dependant, as I have
switched
both of those with no change in behavior.

Suggestions?
