It's not too long ago that I ran across an old X application that insisted on a PseudoColor or DirectColor visual that I wanted to display remotely on a Linux desktop which failed because only TrueColor visuals were offered by the X server on that machine. So I do think that removing non-TrueColor support completely would be a shame. _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
