[comp.windows.x] Using different rgb files.

tmcconne@berger.intel.com (Tom McConnell) (06/02/91)

	I have an application running on a Sun 4/330 under X11R4 that I
wish to run from a DEC VAXstation 3100 running ultrix, X11R3. The major
problem is that the rgb database files are different for the VAXstation
and the Sun.

	Is there some way to dynamically change the rgb database to use
on the VAXstation? I cannot arbitrarily change the rgb database on the
VAXstation for two reasons: the X server starts at boot time and runs
all the time; and there are several applications that require the original
DEC rgb database.

	One brute force fix would be to combine the Sun and DEC rgb
databases into a single database, common for both machines. For several
reasons this is not agreeable. (By the way, this would work, wouldn't
it?)

	Thanks,

	Tom McConnell
