i can confim this. using Xsun is fine on srss-4.1, as long as *no* application uses the pseuduculor visual.
i had configured: === ENABLE_PSEUDOCOLOR_VISUAL=yes DEFAULT_PSEUDOCOLOR_VISUAL=no XSERVER_PREF=Xsun === all fine, but when i started the application that preferred the 8-bit visual, Xsun crashed. i did not look into details, because i could swtich to XSERVER_PREF=Xnewt as this application has a truecolor-mode now also (with degraded performance, regarding the application). this should be fixed, from my point of view. but in a way that Xnewt offers a pseudocolor visual also (i guess it is not easy to implement). niki > Hi, > > P.S.M.Swamiji schrieb: > > > On 02/ 2/09 06:42 PM, Philippe Bourdeu d'Aguerre wrote: > >>> We really do require to set a certain bunch of cards/tokens to default > >>> to 8bit PseudoColor visual, but SRSS 4.1 seems to be buggy in this > >>> respect.
