On a Sun with a cgfour display, screen 0 (the "monochrome" screen)
really does have a colormap in hardware.  But our Xsun reports it as
supporting only a StaticGray visual; it seems to me it should be
PseudoColor with a two-entry colormap.  Presumably this was done to
allow all the existing bwtwo code to be re-used; has anyone hacked on
it to make it match reality a bit more closely?  (I was considering
doing it myself, but don't care to re-invent the wheel, at least not
unnecessarily.)

If so, can / how can I get hold of patches to apply to our server?

		TIA, as always,
