Hi, I am a stranger to X windows. However, I need to run a software on Linux. The software needs 8bit color but the system default is 16. Is there any way I can configure my X windows so that it can support this software with 8bit color. There is the error message I got. Color depth = 16 but only depth =8 is allowed. Can't get reserved color and no shared colorMap exist. Does it mean that a shared colorMap can solve the problem? Any suggestion?
