[comp.windows.x] xset p on Sun

km@emory.uucp (Ken Mandelberg) (07/22/88)

Back on X10R4 I could change the bg/fg color map with "xset p [0|1]
color". This doesn't work on X11R2 at least on a Sun cgfour. Am I doing
something wrong, or is this expected?

First, BlackPixel/WhitePixel aren't guaranteed to be 0/1 (or 1/0) on
any particular X11 server.  Second, a server is not required to make
these default colormap entries writable.
