Several of my X-applications (netscape, can't create colormap then runs; xgalaga, can't allocate 7 planes, can't create colormap, dies) complain that they cannot allocate any or enough color planes or create colormaps, sometimes when first run, in which case they usually die, or during running, in which case they usually continue running. My system is 8Meg Ram/170Mb IDE disk w/20Mb set aside for swap space running the VGA 16 color X server. I suspect the 16 color server is the problem, but I can't find any documentation that will tell me for sure, or better yet, how to make my apps run. If anyone has any suggestions, or can confirm that I need to get a better video card and run the SVGA server, please let me know. Thanks, Dave Allan
