Changing the Server Visual

Server visual defines the color characteristics for the specified screen of your X server display. You can specify the default server visual; an application can still create windows of TrueColor, PseudoColor, or of both types unless Multiple Color Depths Support is disabled.

To configure server visual settings, select the Xconfig file you want to modify and open the Exceed onDemand Xconfig dialog box.

On the Screen page, select the appropriate option from the Server Visual drop-down list:

Sun Microsystems Compatible Colormap  Enables Sun Microsystems-compatible colors and affects the default settings of the PseudoColor server visual. Selecting this option reverses the allocation: black is allocated to cell one, and white is allocated to cell zero. By default, the X server allocates the color black to cell zero, and the color white to cell one when PseudoColor is enabled.

Multiple Color Depths Support  Enables advertisement of all supported visuals. This lets certain X applications display correctly (for example, if 8-bit PseudoColor or 24-bit TrueColor is the default visual on a high-color video device). Clearing this option means that Exceed onDemand advertises only the default visual.
