Problem with 24-bit color under Linux [message #16882]

Hi,

I'm using IDL 5.2 on a Sun workstation, but normally I use my Linux
PC as an X terminal to access the Sun. Everything works as expected
when the X server is running in 32-bit color mode, but when I try to
use 24-bit mode, the graphics does not work correctly. Sometimes it
seems to go into a BGR color order instead of RGB, sometimes I just
get garbled output.

Of course, I could just use 32 bit all the time, but with my
current video card, I have to sacrifice resolution and refresh rate to
use 32 bit mode. Is there any way to get it to work correctly in 24
bit mode?
