I'm stuck. Can someone help. I have two color video cards with the mainscreen on one and a window on the other. The window is set up with a palette and explicit colors. I have several offscreen pixmaps associated with this window that share the same color table. I use the offscreen pixmaps to store images that I will display into the window. I have a set of small windows on the main screen that display the contents of the offscreen pixmaps. Here is the problem. The main screen and the device containing the other window often will not have the same color table. I want the small windows to do color translation so I get something close to what is in my offscreen pixmaps. However, when I change the colortable for the window and change the seed for the table it changes the colors on the main screen. It does this even when the current device is the device that the window is in. It also does it when I install a different color table and even if I do not do a setentries. Any ideas? This is really bugging me. Allen
