Hi,
the first new feature / bug fix in beta 3 is stated:
> Added Pseudocolor (8-bit) visual plane support so applications
> requiring 8 bit support should find the visuals by default. You
> can also add "-depth 8" (see Xquartz man page) when starting the
> X Server if you want to run it only in 8 bit mode, which is
> unrecommended as OpenGL support is not available in 8 bit mode.
can someone please clarify this? Does this mean that while
X11 continues to start up in the default 24-bit TrueColor
mode on my PowerBook, that if requested a particular X-window
can itself be 8-bit PseudoColor on top of that? If so, that's
fantastic, but I can't get it to work for a couple of apps
which require 8-bit PColor...
Or does it mean the (much less impressive) situation that we
can now start up the server itself in 8-bit PColor mode?
Any pointers?
