Lines: 36 This is regarding running X windows and Sunview together. I do not remember but some body posted a "kludge" to run X and Sun at the same time without having two physical cards. I have been succesfully running this on various Sun Systems and I am satisfied with it. However, I seem to be running into problem with Sun 3/260 with cgtwo0 device. When I run just X11 either from the Console or from Suntools, X11 seems to be fine and all the colors show up. But if I start suntools in /dev/fb and start X in cgtwo0, X starts but all the colors are gone. In effect it becomes a monochrome server. I can still move from one environment to another using adjacent screens and the Suntools is still in color. It is the X server that has problem eith colors. Suppose I have a xterm with -fg blue and -bg yellow then it shows up with white background and black foreground. Sometimes when I try to refresh this window, there are flashes of blue and yellow but they disappear. Even "xcolors" comes up with only black and white boxes. I am running MIT X11R4 with 1-11 patches applied and this problem only seems to occur on cgtwo devices. I would appreciate if somebody could suggest any pointers for solution to the problem.
