Dear Tim, Ok, I tried the following: setenv X_COLORMAP_BASE 0 setenv X_COLORMAP_RESERVED 0 Result: Unable to allocate 7 planes in default colormap; making a new one Warning: Cannot match colormap of wrapper to layout. The background is all black, and all the layer palette's colors are all mixed up. All layers are kinda shades of gray. I can distinguish some things but this is not at all usable. ------ setenv X_COLORMAP_BASE 0 setenv X_COLORMAP_RESERVED 2 Result: Unable to allocate 7 planes in default colormap; making a new one. Warning: Cannot match colormap of wrapper to layout. Same behaviour as above ------ setenv X_COLORMAP_BASE 0 setenv X_COLORMAP_RESERVED 4 Result: Unable to allocate 7 planes in default colormap; making a new one. Warning: Cannot match colormap of wrapper to layout. Same behaviour as above ------ setenv X_COLORMAP_BASE 128 setenv X_COLORMAP_RESERVED 0 Result: Unable to allocate 7 planes in default colormap; making a new one. Warning: Cannot match colormap of wrapper to layout. Background color is off to a dark grey but everything else is mixed up. Unusable. ------ setenv X_COLORMAP_BASE 128 setenv X_COLORMAP_RESERVED 2 Result: Unable to allocate 7 planes in default colormap; making a new one. Only 126 contiguous colors were available. Warning: Cannot match colormap of wrapper to layout. This is the first time I see the "Only 126 contiguous colors were available." error message from my different trials. Background color is white and it looks a lot like the default compile I did... meaning it is unusable colors all mixed up but differently then the above. ------ setenv X_COLORMAP_BASE 128 setenv X_COLORMAP_RESERVED 4 Result: Unable to allocate 7 planes in default colormap; making a new one. Only 124 contiguous colors were available. Warning: Cannot match colormap of wrapper to layout. Ok, I can see the relation with the error message "Only 124 contiguous colors were available" and the X_COLORMAP_RESERVED variable. Colors looks like the one just above with X_COLORMAP_RESERVED=2 ------ setenv X_COLORMAP_BASE 256 setenv X_COLORMAP_RESERVED 0 Result: Unable to allocate 7 planes in default colormap; making a new one. Only 0 contiguous colors were available. Warning: Cannot match colormap of wrapper to layout. Now I just figured I could try this (2x128) but it does not work. ------ setenv X_COLORMAP_BASE 256 setenv X_COLORMAP_RESERVED 4 Result: Unable to allocate 7 planes in default colormap; making a new one. Only -4 contiguous colors were available. Warning: Cannot match colormap of wrapper to layout. Tried this just for fun... This prevented the magic layout window to open. As a matter of fact, only the command line window appeared but it froze. I had to kill wish from the command line. If you have anymore suggestions, tell me and I'll be happy to try them.
