We have a SUN4 with a color display. I got the X server running all right using the command xinit. However, I do not seem to get it to display color images. It always thinks the depth of the screen is one when responding to DefaultDepth(dpy, DefaultScreen(dpy)); Could someone help? Oh, by the way. We looked in the /dev but do not know which dev to make to make the server happy. Thanks in advance. Scott Soper

I can think of one of two things:
1. you didn't do a MAKEDEV for cgfour0
2. you haven't tried moving the cursor off the screen (left or right). The
way Sun4 came up for me is unix:0.0 is monochrome and unix:0.1 is color.
To defeat this try
xinit -- -dev /dev/cgfour0
for color framebuffer only.
