I'm sitting on a 7043 Model 43P-150 with a GXT255P graphics
adapter installed.
As this card has 24-bit true color depth and allows to display 16.7 million
colors *simultaneously*, I can't imagine this should be a problem. As a matter
of fact, it doesn't make a difference if I change from "more colors for
applications" (which is my default) to "more colors for desktop".
Oh.. You *did* know that the GXT255P is known to be brain-dead with
colormap management, didn't you? ;)
Even if you fix your XServers file to start it with a 24-bit TrueColor visual
as the default, some applications Lose Big Time on it. I believe if you
poke around the support center databases, there's a Q&A you can find if
you search for 'colormap', 'GXT255P' and 'netscape'. I know for a
fact that Tk/Tcl
(and particularly 'exmh') tickles the bug too, but I've never received a
totally clear explanation of what the card/driver does wrong.
