I know that the docs for xgif state that you must have at least 8 planes of color to display the various gif pictures, but it seems to me that it should still work on 4 planes of color if the pictures I want to display have less than 16 colors in them. The problem I'm having is that xgif fails in XPutImage with : [828]% xgif thing.gif xgif: thing.gif is 640x350, 16 colors (of which 12 are used) xgif: thing.gif stripped 7 bits X Protocol error detected by server: parameter mismatch Failed request major op code 72 X_PutImage Failed request minor op code 0 (if applicable) ResourceID 0x12 in failed request (if applicable) Serial number of failed request 135 Current serial number in output stream 136 [829]% Can and does xgif work on 4 plane displays and if so, how do I get it to work?? I have the source code, so I can make changes to it if I have to. I've already tried changing the "depth" perameter in the XCreateImage() call to 4 from 8 and it still bombs in the same way.
