Hi! I am currently porting my program from an SGI to a DEC Ultrix and a PC Linux system. The biggest problem (besides byte swapping stuff) is the number of supported visuals. On the SGI I can chooes between lots of different truecolor, directcolor and pseudocolor visuals. The same on the DEC (with smaller colormaps however :-[ ), but on my Linux box with XFree running in 16bpp mode I only have _one_ truecolor visual. If I start X with 8bpp I get some more, but then the truecolor visuals look really ugly.
So, I am really wondering: What does the number of supported visuals depend on? And why is there no pseudocolor visual in 16bpp? Any help or pointer is appreciated!
