Hi All,
I'm trying to run 8bit applications under XFree86-4.2. I realize
that XF4.2 is broken where 8bit is conserned. Apparently Xrender
allocates all of the color space and Xrender in not an optional module -
so starting the Xserver at 8bit is pointless under XF4.2. This leaves me
one other option: Start the Xserver at 24bit enabling 8bit overlays.
Apparently this can be done however I'm not sure how to setup the
XF86Config-4 to do this. My attempts have failed:
Section "Screen"
...
...
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600"
Option "Overlay"
Visual "TrueColor"
EndSubsection
EndSection
Any advice? Can XF4.2 run 8bit apps in any way?
Thanks,
Rob
