Hi,
I have a Diamond FireGL1 graphic card, which uses an IBM 256-bit graphics rasterizer chipset. My Linux is Red Hat 7.2 with XFree86
4.1.0, and I had to use a graphic card driver from ATI website to get X work.
Now I want to remotely run some application (on Sun Solaris machines), which
requires pseudocolor visual. So my questions are:
1) How can I configure XFree86 to enable pseudocolor
overlay in a truecolor X session? (sorry,
I couldn't find the answer on XFree86.org)
2) Is FireGL1 supported for this purpose? I tried to startx
with 8bit color depth and it failed. But from the card specifications in User’s
Guide it seems it may be capable:
Overlay: 24-bit Z- buffer, 4-bit double-buffer, 8-bit single-buffer
Graphics Modes: 1280x1024, color bits 24, alpha bits 8,
line frequency 75.0 93.8 106.3, refresh rate 60 75 85
3) Also can someone recommend a good reference to X
windows basics?
Thank you.
