On a Sun with a cgfour display, screen 0 (the "monochrome" screen) really does have a colormap in hardware. But our Xsun reports it as supporting only a StaticGray visual; it seems to me it should be PseudoColor with a two-entry colormap. Presumably this was done to allow all the existing bwtwo code to be re-used; has anyone hacked on it to make it match reality a bit more closely? (I was considering doing it myself, but don't care to re-invent the wheel, at least not unnecessarily.) If so, can / how can I get hold of patches to apply to our server? TIA, as always, der Mouse old: mcgill-vision!mouse new: mouse@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu
