Hello Linux folkz, I'm running XFree86 4.0.3 X server. Somebody on this list posted that it's possible to open second X terminal with lower color depth without restarting the main X server. Could somebody please explain in details how to do this. I need to run remote simulation from SUN workstation in 8bpp color depth and in the same time I need to have default 24 bpp color depth X terminal for another application that runs only in 24 bpp color depth mode. Please share your experience on how to achieve this. Thank you in advance. Alex
