Hello,


Has anyone noticed incorrect colors when using Netware 6.5 on the Proxmox-VE console?

Hi, can you post the vm config? qm config ID ?

is there any setting regarding color depth or similar (i'm not very familiar with netware )?

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply.

Here is the VM configuration I’m using.

#qm config 128

I have already tried switching to different display modes, but the issue persists.

Thank you.

could you try to set the vga type to 'cirrus' ?

you can do this with

qm set 128 -vga cirrus

NOTE: this is one of the recommended vga types, and should only be used for old operating systems (such as this i guess), see also:
