Hi Harold,
Usually I run 256 Color or 32 bit on Windows, but I'm not sure if the X
application is expecting Pseudo or TrueColor. Could you tell me how to find
that out?
I looked around and found a depth setting on the Xwin application. Didn't
have time to test it out today though, so will have a look at that tomorrow.
On Linux, I think there's a config file under /etc/X11 where you can put in
the display settings, but couldn't find this on cygwin/xfree86.
JS.
