I don't have any specific ideas but just wanted to add that I'm running
a log of legacy applications using 8 bit pseudocolor with no problems,
i.e. they run with the same behavior as if running on the Sun Solaris
platform on which they were developed.
They are Xview based applications and I'm running the X server in 256
color mode using the quartz-wm. I have not adjusted any other
settings.
This did NOT work until the Panther version of X11 on the mac.
If there are any other settings I can look at let me know.

When running a legacy application (requiring 8 bit pseudocolor)
displaying on Apple's X11 it complains that it can't allocate enough
colours for its base colours and planes. Looking at the default
colour map it's easy to see why - a fair number of the entries are
already allocated.
This even with the X server:
- running in "full screen" mode
- with 256 colours
- using the preferred mwm window manager (open motif) or quartz-wm
Are there any settings that can be adjusted to make sure that there
are only a minimum number of colours allocated in the default colour
map (preferably only black and white) so this application will
actually have a chance to run properly.
