This app will core dump, if the server has more than 256 colors, and I don't want to live with that for normal operation. So I need a 2nd X server on this machine. This 2nd X server will also need a lighter window manager/desktop, since I'm using Gnome for my primary, and this would suck up all 256 colors instantly. Any thoughts as to how to accomplish this? Pointers to docs appreciated. -- "They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
