question about colors in linux

Hey, for some reason, whenver I am in Linux (FC4) it seems that my black colors on my monitor have a pink shade to them. This does not happen whenever I boot into XP. Any ideas? I have a Viewsonic VX924 monitor. Thanks in advance for any help 🙂
 
6800GT? You'll have to install the proprietary driver. If its not too unbearable try going to Nvidia's website and getting their 32 bit linux drivers (assuming you have the 32 bit distro). Are you familiar with the command line or how to install the graphics drivers for linux?
 
sorry, i was busy for a day or so and i was just running windows. I am using the 64 bit distro, if that is a problem or has known issues I have FC2 from a text book that I was using. I am sort of familiar with how to install things via command line - meaning I have done it before, but only with some guides. I downloaded nvidias drivers for the 64 bit, and I got a message saying:

"You appear to be running an X server, please exit X before installing" I am going to currently read the readme file and see if it says anything about how to disable it. But thus far, that is all I have accomplished.

Thanks for your help guys
 
To disable your X server in Fedora you log out your user, switch to a virtual console (ctrl-alt-F1) (F1 thru F6, F7 is for X usually) and log in as root.
telinit 3
will disable X.

For Ubuntu, Debian and such you'd go "/etc/init.d/gdm stop"
