I am trying to configure X windows (X11r6) on a pentium running
bsdi 2.4.  I keep getting errors in the .xinit.log saying that 
colors can't be allocated and when I do a startx, all of the pop up
memus are in black, making them unreadable.  I've checked all of
the .Xresources files but nothing seems to be amiss.   Any ideas?
Thanks.
