SOLVED -ipod photo color/bmp all messy

Hi. I'm new to this forum and new to the ipod.
I've just bought a ipod photo and installed rockbox via linux.
I've used daily build 24.10.06 and also unzipped the daily-fonts of the same day.
I've already resetted/cleared the settings and tried different builds, even from september.
But the rockbox logo as well as the themes and color-plugins, for example bubbles, have a color clash.
In case of the rockbox logo this means, it's somewhat purple, blue, yellow-something. Rockbox itself seem to function normal.....
I've gone through the wiki, manual and used the search-function, but still don't see the solution. Has it sth to do with my ipod generation or firmware?
Thanks for your help,
Stephan

By, "via linux" do you mean that you followed the official Rockbox install instructions for installing from a linux machine, or do you mean you used the iPodLinux installer, or are using Loader2?

Good morning and cheers.
I used the instructions from the official manual. Compiling, extracting apple_os, joining apple_os with rockbox bootloader, diskdump back to the ipod.
The apple firmware is running fine, and as well is rockbox, except for the color-thing, so I thought it's no loader issue?
There is a point in the faq that suggests "to toggle full screen option, if rockbox looks funny which i don't know where to find.

That says Rockboy not Rockbox. It is not a typo.
So, you compiled your own bootloader? Why didn't you use the official one provided?

I used the official provided. I didn't compile the bootloader, i compiled ipod_fw. In other words: I followed the "rockbox-ipodcolor-20061023.pdf" manual, p.14-16 for linux users. And I don't use loader2.
I just uploaded some pictures to the ipod and they can't be displayed correctly as well.
Thanks & regards, Stephan

Was your iPod running the most recent Apple firmware?
We had a few cases of inverted colors early on with the iPod photos I believe, but I thought the problem had been cleared up.

Thanks for your answer.
I don't know about hte firmware.
My ipod was a used mac model and I think it said sth. like firmware 1.2. I installed itunes on my winpartiton, to convert it into fat32.
Itunes said the ipod needed to be formated and so it did. After that it stated: "the firmware on your model is already up-todate", but i'm pretty sure, it now runs firmware 1.0.
How could the apple firmware affect rockbox?
Is it possible, that the rockbox loader is corrupted? Or if it was, would the rockbox image still boot properly as I think it does?
What are the correct steps to update the apple firmware, and re-install rockbox, now that i use the rockbox-loader?
--------edit
Okay, I see the problem now.
Windows degraded my firmware from 1.2.x to 1.0. That's probably why rockbox won't work flawless.
I re-installed the original apple bootloader with os 1.0 and now I'm stuck with itunes7 trying to upgrade my firmware, which doesn't work, because the ipod leaves disk mode with the pc screen showing forever "updating".
Now let's seek new firmware without itunes.
-----edit2
Okay, after some fuddling with itunes7 I downloaded the last version of the ipod updater (found on german chip-side) which already includes last firmware version 1.2.1. This nice program upgraded the ipod immediately and then I reinstalled rockbox etc. and now everything works like a charme.
So the color clash in rockbox was due to the old apple firmware of my ipod photo/color. I'm now happy to be using rockbox ever after.
Cheers, Stephan
