I have a DecStation 3100, and am having problems
with the colormap.  I do get colors on the screen,
for windows back/foreground when I set them with the
session manager, but when I say:
xclock -fg blue
it complains:
X Toolkit Warning: Cannot allocate colormap entry for "blue"

This message is the same for every attempt to set a color
for an X program.

We got this machine from DEC as a former demo machine, so
it was preconfigured when I got it.  It's probably
just some configuration parameter I have to set, right? ;-)

thanks,
