We have an application that requires the 8 plane PseudoColor Visual to run. We have required our Solaris and HP-UX customers to configure their systems as 8 plane systems to support our application. I am porting the application to Linux (Red Hat) and would like to run on the out-of-the-box configuration. When X is configured for an 8 planes there are not enough colors (KDE seems to consume a rather large amount of colors). So I added code to request the 8 plane PseudoColor Visual from the X server. This works fine on Solaris, HP-UX and Exceed – when those servers are configured for 24 planes, they provide the 8 plane Visual as an option. When XFree86 is configured for 24 planes – only the 24 plane Visuals are offered.
Can I set the XF86Config file up to offer 8 plane Visuals in addition to the 24 plane Visuals? I’ve been playing with the Visual filed under the Display subsection, but I can’t get anything to change. Xdpyinfo shows 8 visuals – 4 identical 24 plane TrueColor and 4 identical 24 plane DirectColor.
Thanks,
