Sorry for the multiple postings...but I thought this stuff would 
be of general interest.   All references are to HP's X dist on HP-UX 7.0.

The "rgb.txt" and assoc. rgb files that HP gives you can mess you up!  
Apparently a bunch of clients (including the default xclock and 
xload started by mwm) want you to have nice colors in the first 8 
positions of the colortable.

The first 8 colors or so in that database should be:

                       0 0 0           black
                       255 255 255     white
                       255 0 0         red
                       255 255 0       yellow
                       0 255 0         green
                       0 255 255       cyan
                       0 0 255         blue
                       255 0 255       magenta

You can make the new rb files by removing the old "rgb.pag and rgb.dir"
and saying "rgb < rbg.txt".  We have the following in our inittab and 
it looks like things are working out pretty well. (Not so with the previous
rbg table.)

X0:2:respawn:env PATH=/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/bin xinit /usr/bin/X11/hpterm -L =+
2+2 ttyq0 #Xwindow -- :0 -co /usr/lib/X11/rgb
