If true, this makes some of the screaming complaints I've been getting a little more understandable. What color is the X server electing to give you? (I don't actually know how to find this out.) It shouldn't be very far off. I find it rather amazing that the server is having trouble; if you limit yourself to one significant digit in the rgbi space, there are only 1000 possible colors, which is a pretty small portion of even a 15-bit colorspace. I'm Cc'ing this to the Xpert mailing list so that a cluebat can be appropriately applied to my head. -- G.
