We have a Sun 4/370 here in our animation lab and are trying to run
X11r4 on it. The problem is we have a cg9 frame buffer, with a gp2
graphics processor and a parallax ntsc video frame buffer. I have
determined that if I set the variable XDEVICE to /dev/cgnine0, then
I am able to get X11r4 to display on the correct device, but it is
only in monochrome.
What we would like to have is the full 24-bits in X-windows, I was
wondering if the OpenLook software that Sun supplies offers 24 bit
support for this framebuffer? I have heard from friends that the standard
X11r4 release doesn't offer 24-bits, but is there anyway to at least
get 8bits on the cg9 device?
Please post any help through e-mail.
