Thanks for responding Jeremy. I figured I would be misunderstood.
X11 in OS X allows for pseudocolor via the Preferences interface. That
must mean pseudocolor is supported by this graphics card and monitor.
In CentOS on this iMac, I'm having difficulty configuring /etc/X1/
xorg.conf to produce a pseudocolor graphics environment.
Since the OSX side of things says the hardware is capable of
pseudocolor, what am I doing wrong with my xorg.conf specifications?
Well, if X11 on OSX does it right, then maybe there's a config file
somewhere that has the appropriate settings for this monitor and
graphics card. Silly me.
Thanks for the info on defaults. Read the man page and dumped the
settings for org.x.X11 domain. Nothing usefull there, nor from the
global defaults domain.
OK. Next stop - xorg mailing list.

I'm trying to figure out how to get our boot camp'd CentOS 5.3 Xorg
X11 to do pseudocolor (depth=8; 256 colors).
I'm not sure what you want here... If you're using CentOS, then you
need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf... but recent Xorg servers (1.5.x
and later) should auto-detect everything and not need that config
file. That being said, this is not the mailing list for discussion
of the Xorg DDX. You want the xorg mailing list.
I assumed Xquartz or X11 in OS X has a config file similar to
linux's /etc/X11/xorg.conf, hoping to have a peak at how X11 or
Xquartz specifies its available pseudocolor (256 colors).
No, the X server in OSX isn't the Xorg DDX. It's the XQuartz DDX.
It's configuration is handled via the preferences menu (or directly
editing the org.x.X11 settings using defaults(1).
'Cause when I try to specify 'depth 8' the linux X11 bails out with
claim of invalid depth = -1
huh?
Does anyone know if there is a location in OS X - X11 where the
equivalents of xorg.conf are contained?
defaults read org.x.X11
Or does anyone know why CentOS 5.3 on this iMac, which by default
config uses the R500 driver for ATI Radeon chipsets.
This is not the mailing list for that kind of question.
