Sounds like the problems I had when trying to use texx on a color
monitor.
- Introduce
     `static int defaultDepth'
  in the section `X-11 related variables' of texx.c,
- set it as
     `defaultDepth = XDefaultDepth(DISP, defaultScreen);'
  in main(...) right after you've set defaultScreen and
- use it in both calls to XCreatePixmap (one in allocatePixmaps()
  and one in allocateLargePixmaps() as the parameter describing 
  the depth of the pixmap.
  (B/w monitors have depth 1, color monitors usually 3 [red-blue-
  green]; so the `1' used as parameter in the copy of texx.c I got
  isn't very appropriate:-)

Hope this helps!

(And thanks to Klaus Thull, Berlin, who once gave the hint to look
at this point.)
