Hello World!

We where wondering if there should be somebody out there who has a
solution to the following problem with RasterOps cards on SunSparc.

We are using SunSparc1 & SunSparc1+, SunOS4.1 and OpenWindows 2.0
with XView.

One of our goals is to show live true color video in an OW 2.0
window on a SunSparc monitor. At the moment we have access to true
color video with a black & white _overlay_ (the windows & their
content) or 8 bit (256) color on the video & windows! We need true
color video and at least 8 color windows but 24 bit windows is
preferred!

RasterOps currently support the following configurations:

		  	Window	Video
SunView			 1 bit	24 bit
			 8 bit	 8 bit
			 8 bit	24 bit
			24 bit	24 bit	(Just guess!)

OpenWindows2		 1 bit	24 bit
			 8 bit	 8 bit
			 Do you have the driver to put in here?

OpenWindows3		 1 bit	24 bit	(Just guess!)
			 8 bit	 8 bit	(Just guess!)
			 8 bit	24 bit	(Just rumors)
			24 bit	24 bit	(Just rumors)

If we used SunView instead, then there wouldn't be a problem, but
we have to stick to OpenWindows 2.0 - any suggestions/comments/...?
