If you are actually trying to view the colours on the AIX box, possibly:
- the hardware does not have enough display memory, or
- the hardware does not support the colours, or
- the x11 file (maybe /usr/openwin/lib/X11/rgb.txt) does not have all the
colours defined in it.
If you are trying to view something generated by the AIX box, possibly the
application is calling for IBM-specific colours (SGI does this, too) which
are not specified in the Linux rgb.txt file.
The X server is just approximating the colours.
Cheers,
Jill.
