Re: [SLE] Is it possible to change depth of the screen without restarting X server?
Hello Steve, Thank you for response. However, when I do startx -bpp 24 :1 or startx -bpp 8 :1 it gives me an error: Fatal server error Server is already active for display 0 if this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again. Does it mean that I have to shutdown my running X server before switching it to another color depth. But this is not what I need to acheve. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Alex -------------------
Perhaps your needs would be met by running a second X server on a different virtual terminal?
startx -bpp 8 :1
Then use Control-Alt-F8 to go to the second X server.

I mean to change the screen depth from 32 bpp to 8 bpp and back without restarting X server. Thanks in advance. Alex

My mistake. Here is the little script I use (and have tested this time :)) to start the secondary server. (I'm using this now to look at photos with.) startx -- :1 -bpp 32 --Steve Augart Alex Daniloff wrote:

Hello Linux folkz, When I try to run my HP-UX precess applications remotely I do: telnet applserver export DISPLAY=linuxbox_IP:0.0 startapplication & Application starts but I'm getting these messages: Warning: cannot allocate colormap entry for "#347256" Warning: cannot allocate colormap entry for "#aflc2c" Warning: cannot allocate colormap entry for "#4359b8" Warning: cannot allocate colormap entry for "#4848bd" Warning: cannot allocate colormap entry for "#4f6497" Warning: cannot allocate colormap entry for "#5383dc" What is really interesting that one Linux box (runs SuSE 6.4 XFree86 v. 3.3.6) starts this application without any problem or warnings but another Linux box (runs SuSE 7.0 Pro XF86 v. 3.3.6) is giving these messages. They both have an identical configuration and nearly identical /etc/XF86Config files. Could somebody tell me please where and what should I check on the second Linux box to fix this issue. Thanks in advance.

Are you running 8bpp here? Looks like you run out of colors. Do you use a different window manager?

Our manufacturing network is not using SSH and it is not installed on HP-UX systems. Why should I use SSH in this case?

Yes I run 8bpp and I'm using KDE with its own window manager. Thanks in advance for any help. Alex
