Cadence needs exactly 8 bit planes. This can be accomplished
three ways:
either start the server with the -bpp switch, change your X
config file so
that 8 bit planes is your default setting, or run a standard
server then
connect to it with a client that has fewer planes available. For
details
on some of these options, see
http://www.fysik.dtu.dk/CAMP/xlinux.html and
the xfree86.org docs.
This seems to make sense for a typical X11 installation, such as XF86
on the Linux box where I'm typing this. But did you actually try it
out on either XDarwin or X11.app under OSX? If so, could you explain
in more detail for those of us (OK, me :-) who've failed to get it to
work?
XDarwin can use 8-bit PseudoColor in full-screen mode. Neither XDarwin
nor X11.app can use 8-bit PseudoColor in rootless mode.
In the XDarwin Preferences, go to the 'Start Up' tab and then either
set the 'Default Mode' to 'Full Screen' or check 'Show mode pick panel
on startup'. Next, go to the 'Full Screen' tab and set 'Color bit
depth' to 8. Then restart XDarwin.
Alternatively, start XDarwin from the command line like this: `startx
-- -fullscreen -depth 8`.
