I have been using XFree86 v3.3.6 under Redhat Linux 6.2 on a couple of PCs to connect to a remote HP-UX 10.20 CDE system quite successfully, using the command 'X -query remotehost :2 -bpp 8'.
After upgrading one PC to Redhat 7.3, running XFree86 4.2.1, I had to change the 'bpp' option to use '-depth 8'. And now I get strange colours on my screen, e.g. menus appearing with white text on white backgrounds, and messages such as 'xsetroot: unable to allocate color for "gray30"', multiple instances of 'Warning: cannot allocate colormap entry for 'LightBlue"' (or other colours), and 'AllocColor' errors when attempting to run image display programs. I've still got a PC running the older system (RH6.2, XFree 3.3.6), which still works fine. XFree86 runs locally under Redhat 7.3 just as well as it did under 6.2, with no problems. So what's changed, and how do I get back to where I was? Where do I start looking for the cause? Any help would be appreciated...
