Somehow Solaris gets this right on Sun hardware. If it would help
I can grab the output of xdpyinfo on one of those machines and you
can peruse it for clues. It's of course possible that Sun actually
implement it in hardware. Is the Apple implementation h/w or s/w?
ie. the Aqua interface presumably sets the h/w operation mode to be
TrueColor (when the user asks for millions of colours). If you then
go and run X11 - depth 8 over the top of this, does it use a s/w
colortable to produce 24-bit colors to send to the card, or does it
actually tell the card that this sub-window on the screen is to
be rendered in 8-bit mode with a colormap, and only send 8-bit values
for that rectangle of the display?
