  Sorry, in my last followup on this subject I forgot to answer
the real question, which was would we support a 1 bit visual.
The answer is no, since we don't have any 1 bit hardware.
X primitives such as copy plane should be fast enough in IRIX 4.0
that it is not necessary to support a 1 bit visual anyway.
