Putting Sun computers into 24bit true color mode ------------------------------------------------ All machines that display DTT should be put into 24bit TrueColor mode (assuming they support it). This should make it possible to run netscape, medm, acrobat, dtt and dv all on the same workspace without color flashing and without DTT/ROOT crashing due to X resource problems. For graphics boards that support 24bit mode together with the default 8 bit pseudo color mode (Creator 3D, Elite), it is sufficient to change the "/etc/dt/config/Xservers" file. (If it doesn't exist, copy it from /usr/dt/config.) For example, for a two monitor system, it could look like (all one line): :0 Local local_uid@console root /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0 -nobanner -dev /dev/fb0 defclass TrueColor defdepth 24 -dev /dev/fb1 defclass TrueColor defdepth 24 Notice that you have to specify both defclass and defdepth. The m64 board that comes standard with the new Blade1000 cannot support more than one color mode and you have to change the board setup to make it 24bits. Use something like: "/usr/sbin/m64config -res 1280x1024x76 -depth 24" In both cases you need to reboot the machine.
