Ian, What I mean is the application is running on the SGI platform and displaying on a screen across the network. Running on identical hardware, under Window/ExCeed's X server, the application works correctly. Running under Linux/XFree86 X server, it only displays at 8 bit planes and when the color map overflows, the display is not colored correctly. So somehow Windows/ExCeed seems to be doing a bit more in emulating capabilities that aren't being provided by the Xfree 86 driver.

The X terminology is a little different than most people expect, so I want to ask for some clarification. By "SGI hardware acting as server" do you mean the application is running on the SGI and displaying on the Linux system, or the application is running on the Linux system and displaying on the SGI? In X terminology, the "server" (i.e., X-server) is where ever the stuff is being displayed. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
