If one had some old software that only worked in 8-bit (I have an ancient copy of IslandWrite/Paint/Draw somewhere), one could still run an instance of Xephyr (with appropriate arguments) and point the client at that; I'm pretty sure I've done that a few times to look at old documents. That's certainly not the same thing as an 8-bit PseudoColor default visual for the main X server for a device, but since most 8-bit apps aren't exactly demanding, it's probably good enough if one still needs to run them from time to time. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ xwin-discuss mailing list [email protected] List info: http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/xwin-discuss Unsubscribe: http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/options/xwin-discuss
