[comp.windows.x] Help wanted: Number of colors.

Hello, Friends;

I posted a question regarding Motif root menu a few weeks ago, and
received some responses. The problem was incorrect button bindings.
Since then, the root menu has been working just fine. Thanks to people
who gave me the clues. 

I've got another question here. I'm using Sun 3, runnig SunOS 4.1 and
X11 Release 3. The machine has an 8-bit colormap that yeilds 256 colors.
Using SunView, I can get fullly 256 colors on the screen. But, I can
only get 128 colors with X server(using default colormap). I don't know
why this happens.

Could one point out reasons or any clue to me? Thanks in advance!
