Have you considered 'VNC' as an option.
With VNC server running as an 8-bit Pseudocolor framebuffer, your
application is happy, and the VNC client will take care of the rest.

Hello SunRayers,
this is my first post to this mailing list. However, I do have checked
the archives and couldn't find any solution for the problem I am
reporting here now.
We do have a large SUNray installation at our organisation with 90+
SUNrays connected to various Solaris and Linux-based SRSS. Here at our
institute we do have certain old applications which required an 8bit
PseudoColor visual to run.
With versions previous to SRSS 4.1 we could perfectly switch those
SUNrays or smartcard based tokens to use 8bit PseudoColor visual as the
default (i.e. utxconfig -p default) and those application worked
properly with it.
However, with the new SRSS 4.1 incl. the latest -01 patch, we are
running into severe problems here. I do have understood that for 8bit
visuals I am bind to using SRSS 4.1 under Solaris. That's fine with us.
I also understood that for using 8 bit PseudoColor I do have to switch
to Xsun (i.e. utxconfig -b Xsun). However, as soon as I specify to use
of 8bit PseudoColor as the default (either globally or based on a single
token) the CDE login will never appear here and the Xserver seems to be
constantly crashing/exiting.
Here are the utxconfig settings:
-- cut here --
DIMENSIONS=auto
ENABLE_PSEUDOCOLOR_VISUAL=yes
DEFAULT_PSEUDOCOLOR_VISUAL=yes
ENABLE_MULTISCREEN=yes
ENABLE_XINERAMA=no
ENABLE_XKB=yes
SCREEN_GEOMETRY=auto
SCREEN_ORDER=auto
XSERVER_PREF=Xsun
-- cut here --
The interesting part is, that as soon as I disable 8bit PseudoColor as
the default the Xsession correctly appears, however, our applications
require to have 8bit PseudoColor enabled as the default visual.
After some short investigation I found the following errors in the
/var/dt/Xerrors file:
-- cut here --
Fatal server error:
WaitForSomething(): select: errno=22
X connection to :2.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
Fri Jan 30 11:39:28 2009
error (pid 23150): Server for display :2 terminated unexpectedly 1
-- cut here --
And this is continuing endlessly. So the Xserver is tried to be
continuously started and started without any success.
Now I am of course curious if anyone else in here can reproduce this
behaviour on his own Solaris10 SRSS4.1 installation? And if so, is there
a known fix for that or something that can be done to have that
situation resolved? We really do require 8bit PseudoColor visuals
running as default, but all my attempts with SRSS 4.1 failed so far. So
we are stuck with SRSS 4.0 until this issue is solved.
Kind regards,
jens
