Subject: Size of Colormap in Xhp300 server.

I have an HP 900-350 workstation, and have been playing with
some color programs in the last couple of days. The monitor
(HP 98782A) has 8 planes (as reported by xdpyinfo), but
for some reason its colormap only has 64 colors (equivalent to 6 planes).
I need the 256 of an 8 plane display for the pictures I have to look good.

Is there a way to change the default colormap size for
the server?

Thanks,

/Luis
