Maybe I am misunderstanding the type of colors I am talking about. I AM starting the server in 24 bit per pixel mode. "startx --bpp 24" is what I type. When I try and start a color hungry program like the "xtacy" kaleidascope from the ports and another color lover like netscape, the second one complains about not being able to allocate enough colors. Does this clarify the matter any? the log of my Xtacy program when run while Navigator was running: X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operat ion) Major opcode of failed request: 86 (X_AllocColorCells) Value in failed request: 0x0 Serial number of failed request: 54 Current serial number in output stream: 54 Running mode boxes > start the X-server with options -bpp 16 or -bpp 24 or -bpp 32. > > Malte Lance > malte@webmore.com > > At 15:37 06.03.98 -0500, you wrote: > >Hello. > > > > I have an X display, and xloadimage and other such color intensive > >programs screw up because I have 256 RGB colors and it wants to allocate > >more than I have.
