Re: 8bit (256) color

pixman is supposed to handle the translation from 8bit pixel values + mappings -> TrueColor

I'm wondering how it's supposed to work at all, given that all the visuals are 24-bit TrueColor. An application requesting 8-bit PseudoColor should fail to find a compatible visual.

I still don't get it, surely something like

XMatchVisualInfo(dpy, screen, 8, PseudoColor, &vinfo)

will fail based on the output of xdpyinfo, right? I don't see a way in the prefs to turn on 256 color mode. Are you saying that you added some libpixman stuff to the server that will match a DirectColor visual in that case or something crazy like that? Or do you want us to test Xephyr?
