8bpp vs 16bpp [message #12269]

Hi,

Does anyone know if I can run X in 16bpp and then force IDL to open a
graphics window with 8bpp?

At the moment, I'm running X in 24bpp in order to avoid colormap
problems between different apps. But, this requires a smaller
resolution screen with only a 4Mb graphics card. Of course, the best
solution would be to upgrade the memory on the graphics card...

FYI, I'm running IDL5.1 in Linux.

Thanks for any thoughts.
Chris
