All right, my woes for this beast are down to one. For some reason, if I try to run X directly in 8 bit color mode, I get only greyscale output. Because the legacy application I am running doesn't work properly with higher color depths (printing of displays doesn't work), I cannot run at a higher color depth easily without re-writing the application I am running.
Command is Xorg :0 -terminate -br +bs -depth 8 The display driver is intel I830 Anyone have any ideas?
