Umm, you are running a 16-color server (4 bit pseudocolor). Netcrap is known to eat up a bunch of colormap entries and won't be quite happy otherwise. (It always ate up so many map entries that i've been switching to 16 bit truecolor now.) I don't know if you are stuck with 16 colors, if so, you might try to convince your Xserver to use staticcolor instead of pseudocolor. This will pre-allocate the 16 color slots, and make the Xserver approximate any color request to the closest matching color. I assume it will look terribly nevertheless. -- J"org Wunsch Unix support engineer joerg_wunsch@interface-business.de http://www.interface-business.de/~j
