next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
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

Trust the computer industry to shorten Year 2000 to Y2K. It
was this thinking that caused the problem in the first place.
