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 can very the color numbers in rgb.txt and the colors in my xterm windows will change. :) The colors in my solaris window do not change. :( I used an app that came with AutoIT to verify colors in the windows. When I slide the mouse over something red in a xterm window the app showed me the color number. I can change the '255 0 0' in rgb.txt to '255 40 40' and the app will show '255 40 40'. But in the solaris window, '255 0 0' always reads '255 0 0' no mater what I change in rgb.txt. Am I shooting in the right (or left) direction or do xwindow calls from an outside unix box not use color maps or settings on the localhost? Thanks for any direction or kind words.

Facename fonts vs XLFD fonts
I have an application that by default looks for the Facename font ncenb14. I can over ride the setting by using the Xdefaults and specifying the XLFD (X Logical Font Description) instead. While this works, it's not the ideal situation. I would rather it just found the Facename name by default. This application's fonts work fine when you run it from a Linux or HP console, but not when forwarded back to Cygwin. I tested with xterm to make sure that it could find the font name. When I used the -fn switch it wouldn't find the xcenb14 font, but when I used the -fa it would. Is there a way to make Cygwin look at the Facename and the XLFD? I tried finding some documentation on how X uses fonts and searches for them but really couldn't find much. If anyone has some really good references, let me know also.

Problem with -multiwindow and -clipboard when using -nolisten tcp
I'm trying to turn off the tcp port for Cygwin/X. I would like to just close it down on the outside interface and still have it listen on the loopback device. I have not been able to find a way to do that. The closest thing I could find is to turn off tcp all together. This does work. I'm able to bring up xterms and the whole deal. I get odd behavior after that. The xterm allows me to copy and paste within the window, but it doesn't copy to the Microsoft Windows clipboard. The x button on the upper right corner of the xterm also does not work. You can only open one xterm or other type of xforwarding because multiwindow hasn't loaded. Is there a setting to tell multiwindow and clipboard where the display is? I can see them trying to access the loopback.
