Hi, Having just upgraded to RedHat-7.3 which uses XFree86-4.2.0, I have a question regarding colormaps. I have a colour depth of 8bpp (This is essential for the applications that I want to run, upping the colour depth is not an option) Under the previous version of X (4.0.3 in my case) I had no problems firing up my application or any others in 8 bit mode, now I am finding that regardless of the window manager I use, most colours have already been allocated. For example I have started both mwm (with a plain background and an Xterm) and KDE yet I still get the error "cannot allocate colormap entries" when starting a colour intensive application. I can see with xcmap that a whole bunch of colours have been grabbed and I would have expected this with KDE, but not mwm or twm. What has been changed under 4.2.0? Am I missing some simple configuration? This didn't used to be a problem and I really don't want to have to end up with colour flashing. My XF86Config file has not changed and neither has my hardware. Any thoughts? TIA, Iain
