What about 8bit pseudocolor on 16 or 24bit truecolor? For apps that involve colormap cycling, the directcolor visual would definately be preferred, but for other legacy apps that don't play with the colormap much once it's initially allocated, it seems to me that you could use a truecolor visual and avoid colormap flashing problems. _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
