We recently received a Sun SPARCstation 2 with a 24 bit color
framebuffer, referred to by Sun as a cgtwelve.  When I tried to run
Openwindows, the machine just hung.  A call to Sun's Software Support
indicated that this hardware was too far advanced beyond their
software, and that Openwindows would not work with this framebuffer.
If the GFX software is installed, I was told that Openwindows would
work in black and white.  Does anyone have a server that works for
this machine?  Thanks.
