hi,
first off thanks to all the responded to my post a few weeks ago about
using pseudocolor, and using both pseudocolor and truecolor visuals at the
same time. to recap: using both similutaneously is not supported either
by apple's x11 or by xdarwin on the mac currently.
one thing that i would like to add though: some folks, including the
response i got from apple's bug reported, that to run pseudocolor in
apple's x11 i should set the display preferences to 256 colors and then
launch x11. this isn't so elegant a solution for a piece of software you
buy at the store. however, i discovered that issuing
/usr/X11R6/bin/startx -- -depth 8
gives me pseudocolor in rootless mode using apple's x11 without having to
drop the entire OS into 256 color. maybe everyone is aware of this, but
it didn't come up in the discussion.
m.
