Ok, from the person experiencing the problem, I found out that he's running XF86_S3. He has even tried the 3.1.2D server version with no luck. HOWEVER, running netscape from his machine displaying remotely to an 8bpp X Terminal (DEC) works fine! His roommate tried loading Accelerated X 1.3 at 8bpp on an ATI Mach64 card and got the same failures. Apparently there seems to be a message that comes up every time that the Java stuff fails: "can't allocate background color." Hope this information helps. -matt PS - I've added the owner of the other system to the CC list, please keep him in the loop as well. -- Matthew C. Mead mmead@Glock.COM http://www.Glock.COM/~mmead/
