Re: Pseudo Colors on Solaris
I had this very same problem with HP. The way I got around it was to start a X session in fullscreen mode with the windowmanager of your choice in 8 bit color. Not a sexy solution, but it worked. For us it's only for a few apps. Brian Willis OHD/NWS NOAA [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Greetings A little more info.

I had thought about and tried that. When I do that I get really weird colors. (white is greenish yellow, red is blue-ish, ...) I also tried from windows setting XWIN to run in 256 colors from the 'compatibility' tab in properties. This worked also plus it let me use multiwindow but the colors were still messed up but not quite as bad. (red was red 255 0 0 but white was also red 255 0 0). When I do not do ether, I can sort of see the image but it is very very dark. I know it can be done because Exceed does it. I am currently looking for more info on how to use the -cc and -co. Maybe I can come up with some kind of custom mapping. The Sun box runs an app called blink_task to flash some of the colors so I know it is trying to change about 70 of the 256 colors to something custom. The more I dig, the deeper I get.
