this probably isn't a debian specific error, but i think it might have something to do with how i have the system set up. i'm logging in remotely to an SGI IRIX machine and attempting to run an X application. it fails with something like the following error:
Error initializing colors for colormap i'm running in 32 bit color depth, and no color intensive processes are being displayed. (don't tell me that sgi has invented 64-bit color...right?) what does this mean? thanks. -alan
