That's interesting. I based my comments on my experience with SGI, which
allows PseudoColor or TrueColor modes to be used when you have 24-bit
hardware. I guess that to use IDL PseudoColor mode, you'd need to
restart your X server in 8-bit mode. Could you remind us of the syntax?
In addition, are there any other Linux X servers which do provide this
capability?

Cheers,
Liam.
