bit static color will clients like it i m writing an x server for some video generation equipment the hardware is truecolor in yuv space in x terms it has a bit static color visual i would really like to have the server just present this static visual but i m not sure if this will be acceptable to most x clients the three problems i see are the colormap though huge is static all pixels would be bytes wide because the hardware actually lives in yuv space the translation rgb yuv will introduce some rounding error being more of a server guy than a client guy i ask will these limitations thwart many x clients or will most of the x stuff floating around blithely accept what they re given i could write the server to also present a pseudocolor visual of e g bits but i d rather avoid this if not necessary i know there are no absolutes but i d appreciate hearing people s opinions and suggestions thanks frederick g m roeber cern european center for nuclear research e mail roeber cern ch or roeber caltech edu work r mail cern ppe geneva switzerland home
