[comp.windows.x] How do I use color on Mac II under A/UX 1.1 with X11R3

barad@rampart.ee.tulane.edu (Herb Barad) (05/05/89)

I have X11R3 running under A/UX 1.1.  The X11R3 I'm using is the MIT
release.  I did not get X as an add-on product when upgrading to A/UX 1.1.

All works fine except that I cannot seem to get color (such as using
xsetroot -solid red).  Maybe I have to make a color device under /dev.
Does anyone have a suggestion?

As far as I know, the MIT X11r3 server does not support color.  For that you'll
either have to get Apple's X11r3 server or wait for X11r4...

The Mac II server shipped in R3 does not have color support, sorry.  You'll
either have to figure out how to do it yourself, or hope someone else does,
or buy X from Apple, or wait for the next release (whenever that is).
