I did add ColorLimit 61 to my .fvwm2rc file. But it
didn't work. My mail still comes up white, and I have
blank xterms with or without "ColorLimit 61" added to
my .fvwm2rc file.
I'm not sure if I'm running 8 bit mode. I can't run
m64config -prconf but I can run ffbconfig and this is
what I get:
frosbyte% ffbconfig -prconf
