Some of the server I've tried, don't display the colors right. As I understand it so far, the following happens: I'm running a Matrox Millenium in 24bit mode. The X servers I tried so far seem to have trouble providing different visuals in this environment: - demo from DEC: only 256bit PseudoColor - Reflection from WRQ: only 24 bit TrueColor - Netmanage (packaged with OpenNT): only 24bit TrueColor - XWin32: PseudoColor and TrueColor, but slow and no backing store Some of the programs seem to expect a PseudoColor visual and since they don't find one, fall back to blach&white mode. In one product was a hint to switch the graphic card to 256color mode, but I hate this idea. It's such a nice fast card and would be a waste of resources. So finally my question: Since I haven't gotten yet my hand on all available X servers, could somebody tell me if there are any which provide under 24bit WindozeNT graphic mode all the standard visuals: or, at least 256color PseudoColor AND 24bit TrueColor and are fast and configurable ?
