I am currently trying to extend my 8-plane color X windows driver to work on a 24-bit Iris/4D, but am somewhat confused as to the correct way to go about this. I've read through all X11 colormap tutorials we have online (ICCCM turorial, Xlib manual, several talks given at USENIX, etc) but most deal do not talk about DirectColor displays with 24 planes. I believe the ICCCM tutorial had a small example showing how to allocate a 24-bit colormap using XAllocColorPlanes(), but they did not show much else. Anyone have any code fragments they wouldn't mind sharing that shows how to write to such a display?
