where obviously the key statements are "DefaultDepth 8" and the "Depth
8" subsection Display.
Does your xorg.conf already include the analogous statements, in
addition to the Option "PseudoColorVisuals" "on" you cited as being
necessary with the proprietary driver ? The above depth 8 -related
statements alone do the trick for me with the default radeon driver in
SL appropriate for my ATI Radeon 7000 or 7500 video boards.
Thanks, Jim. No, I haven't tried a Depth 8 subsection. I will. With
the fglrx driver, xview seems to find the pseudocolor visual without
that, but maybe the free drivers are different.
