RE: 8 bit PseudoColor problem

["Harold L Hunt II" <huntharo at msu dot edu>]

Chuck,

I wouldn't say that PseudoColor support is sketchy.  I mean, it works fine
either in fullscreen or if you are running Windows in 8 bit color mode.
Granted, PseudoColor is not available when you are running in windowed mode
with Windows set at higher than 8 bit color.

Are you telling me that Cadence still does not work with Cygwin/XFree86 even
when you are using one of the two options outlined above?  That would be
disappointing because I did put a lot of time into the PseudoColor support
and I was pretty certain that it was working properly.  Hmm...

Harold

He's referring to a very old message on this list concerning 8bit
PseudoColor support in cygwin-xfree and Cadence.  Cadence is a CAD
package that requires that feature -- and since PseudoColor support in
cygwin-xfree is sketchy at best, you can't really use it to xhost
cadence.  (Which is the primary reason I'm still using XWin32, personally).

Stephen -- nope, I don't think you can xhost cadence using cygwin-xfree
yet.  (And next time, include a little background.  Not everybody
instantly recalls every message on this list from the past four years)
