Greetings. I am new to CYGWIN (having used exceed for years) but have been studying it very intently for weeks now. I am having trouble getting a Sun Solaris screen to render correctly. It uses 8bpp pseudo. If I run xwin normally, I get a very dark screen (like the backlight is out on my LCD). If I set xwin to use 256 colors in the compatibility tab, my XP desktop drops to 8bpp and I can see my Solaris screen but the colors are all wrong (white is red, red is red, blue is green, ...). Xwininfo.exe claims it is Pseudo color. I tested MI/X for a while using the same compatible settings. I got the same results with the exception of the colors were right on my Solaris screens (mostly). While searching the mailing list I see the last entries containing pseudo color also talk about "xwinemu2", is this the fix for this? I have searched for this file but can not find it (nether can my best friend 'Google'). I have also tried setting -cc, -co, -engine, ... with no luck or maybe I just don't know the correct numbers to feed them. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated. (Maybe some of my hair will grow back ; }) thanks jb James Bassett IT Analyst Sr. Enterprise IT Support 0401 MLSES Plant Office 903836-6257 Cell 903235-7915 MCSE+I (NT4) MCSE (NT4 & W2K) MCDBA (SQL7 & 2K) MCSA CCNA
