I had thought about and tried that. When I do that I get really weird colors. (white is greenish yellow, red is blue-ish, ...) I also tried from windows setting XWIN to run in 256 colors from the 'compatibility' tab in properties. This worked also plus it let me use multiwindow but the colors were still messed up but not quite as bad. (red was red 255 0 0 but white was also red 255 0 0). When I do not do ether, I can sort of see the image but it is very very dark. I know it can be done because Exceed does it. I am currently looking for more info on how to use the -cc and -co. Maybe I can come up with some kind of custom mapping. The Sun box runs an app called blink_task to flash some of the colors so I know it is trying to change about 70 of the 256 colors to something custom. The more I dig, the deeper I get.

Pseudo Colors on Solaris
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 Confidentiality Notice: This email message, including any attachments, contains or may contain confidential information intended only for the addressee.
