I installed RedHat 5.1 last night, and I tried out a couple of the demos on the Applications CD. Specifically, I tried out WordPerfect and Executor. Unfortunately, neither of these displayed correctly in 24-bit color mode. When I quit out of X and then restarted in 8-bit color mode, they were OK. Is there a way of running 8-bit-color applications within a 24-bit-color X session? It would be a shame if these commercial applications won't run properly on high-end hardware. -- John Abreau / Executive Director, Boston Linux & Unix Email: jabr at blu.org / URL: http://www.blu.org Unix Systems Administrator, Polaroid / abreauj at polaroid.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Your mouse has moved.
