To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org (Free BSD Questions list) Date: Sun, 25 Apr 1999 12:53:38 -0400 (EDT) From: "Stan Brown" X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Length: 921 Message-Id: <19990425165340.A4E1715559@hub.freebsd.org> Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I am trying to run a vendor supplied X task displaying on my FreeBSD machine. My FreeBSD machine is configured for 64K colors. The app keeps core dumping :-( The vendor swears that I have "To Many Colors", and that it will run if I reduce my colors to 256. I really don;t want to reduce the colors to this. Does this make any sense? How could to many colors cause a problem? I could see too fwe, but to many? Any X coders got an opinion on this? -- Stan Brown stanb@netcom.com 843-745-3154 Westvaco Charleston SC. -- Windows 98: n. useless extension to a minor patch release for 32-bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16-bit patch to an 8-bit operating system originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor, written by a 2-bit company that can't stand for 1 bit of competition. - (c) 1999 Stan Brown.
