We're trying to configure our X?screens file to support both 8 and
24 bit X windows in the image planes.  It looks like this:

	/dev/crt depth 24 depth 8


But when X starts up, it complains and says this:

	Error in line 1 of your /usr/lib/X11/X1screens file.
	Only one depth may be requested in image mode
	Using first requested depth of 24.

The "Using Starbase with the X11 Windows System" manual received
with HP-UX 6.5 has an example where two depths are specified (on pg. 3-2):

	/dev/crt depth 6 depth 8

So it appears that it is possible to have two window depths.



Are we doing something wrong?  Does anyone know if it is possible
to use both 24 and 8 bit windows in the image planes in any of
the screen configuration modes?

This is running on an HP9000/370 with 24 bits in the image planes
and 3 bits in the overlay planes.


	Thanks in advance,
