If this is a GNOME systemic bug at this point we'll just let it be fixed by the move to GNOME 2 when that happens. If it's a GTK problem Owen might want to fix it in GTK 1.2.11. Don't really have a suitable test setup for this. We'll hope it has been fixed between GTK+-1.2 and GTK+-2.2. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.9-13smp i686; Nav) Description of problem: Anybody know why gnome doesn't like to be run on a DirectColor visual ? I have an application that needs to be run on a DirectColor visual, so I started up a 2nd X server 24 bit with a DirectColor visual as the default visual, and with a gnome session as follows: xinit /usr/bin/gnome-session -- :1 -depth 24 -cc 5 The colors are absolutely horrible. Note that selecting a TrueColor visual (e.g. "-cc 4" instead of "-cc 5" in the above) works fine. Any hints as to how to get gnome to work in a DirectColor visual environemnt ? I would have thought that since gnome works fine with a PsuedoColor visual, that it would have been fine w/ a DirectColor visual. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.xinit /usr/bin/gnome-session -- :1 -depth 24 -cc 5 (or startx) 2. 3. Actual Results: gnome screens are absolutele horrible - looks very much like a colormap problem. Expected Results: Nice gnome screens, just like in 8-bit PsuedoColor Additional info:
