Hi,
I'm running an app that requires 8-plane depth, and am having some trouble.
When I display it on a Solaris box running 24-plane depth, it automatically
selects an 8-plane visual to run in, and everything is great. When I try to
display it under XFree86 running 24-plane depth, it can't find an 8-plane
visual, and crashes. I'd really like to avoid having to run 8-plane depth.
I'm far from knowledgable when it comes to X visuals, but I dug up the
following. Here's the pertinent (I think) output from xdpyinfo on the Solaris
box:
name of display: unix:0.0
version number: 11.0
vendor string: Sun Microsystems, Inc.
vendor release number: 3610
maximum request size: 262140 bytes
motion buffer size: 256
bitmap unit, bit order, padding: 32, MSBFirst, 32
image byte order: MSBFirst
number of supported pixmap formats: 3
supported pixmap formats:
depth 1, bits_per_pixel 1, scanline_pad 32
depth 8, bits_per_pixel 8, scanline_pad 32
depth 24, bits_per_pixel 32, scanline_pad 32
keycode range: minimum 8, maximum 132
focus: window 0x540000d, revert to Parent
number of extensions: 27
AccessX
...
...
default screen number: 0
number of screens: 1
screen #0:
dimensions: 1920x1200 pixels (541x338 millimeters)
resolution: 90x90 dots per inch
depths (3): 1, 8, 24
root window id: 0x37
depth of root window: 8 planes
number of colormaps: minimum 1, maximum 5
default colormap: 0x34
default number of colormap cells: 256
preallocated pixels: black 1, white 0
options: backing-store YES, save-unders YES
largest cursor: 64x64
current input event mask: 0x58003d
KeyPressMask ButtonPressMask
ButtonReleaseMask
EnterWindowMask LeaveWindowMask
SubstructureNotifyMask
SubstructureRedirectMask PropertyChangeMask
number of visuals: 16
default visual id: 0x20
visual:
visual id: 0x20
class: PseudoColor
depth: 8 planes
available colormap entries: 256
red, green, blue masks: 0x0, 0x0, 0x0
significant bits in color specification: 8 bits
visual:
visual id: 0x21
...
The significant difference (once again, I think) that I see between this and
the same output on the box running XFree86 is:
number of colormaps: minimum 1, maximum 1
on the XFree86 box, instead of:
number of colormaps: minimum 1, maximum 5
on the Solaris box.
#1 Is this the problem, and if so how do I set the maximum to higher than 1?
#2 If this is not the problem, what is, and how can I fix it?
Thanks in advance,
Russ
