I posted this a couple of weeks ago and got no response so I'm trying
again. Does anyone have any ideas please?
Some programs fail to run in X complaining about there being not
enough
colours, but I'm running at 24 bpp using an ATI Xpert@Work 4MB (Mach
64
server).
Below are a couple of examples and the output of xdpyinfo. One thing
about xdpyinfo's output is the reference to available colourmaps. I
thought colourmaps were only required when running at 256 colours
(8bpp).
Can anyone explain what's causing this, and how to fix it.
TIA
