I am using an HP 9000/330 workstation running 7.0 HP-UX with MOTIF window 
manager.

I am trying to change the depth of the pixmap for the root window
from 6 to 8. 

I have tried using xrdb, changing /usr/lib/X11/X0screen to "/dev/crt depth 8"
and that does not work.  Does anybody have any suggestions.

Am I trying to change a parameter that is hardware dependent, or is it 
software configurable?
