Does anybody know of a good overview (with sample source code)
of the OS/2 2.0 palette manager? It's quite different to the old
GpiRealizeColorTable approach of 1.2 and 1.3, so I can't get it
to work.
Whar puzzles me is the the line in the read.me file of the Toolkit which
says the palette manager is not currently implemented on any device.
However, when I call DevQueryCaps with ALTERNATE_GRAPHICS, the 
8514/A driver reports support, while the XGA driver does not.
With the 16 bit GpiRealizeColorTable call it seems to be the other way:
It still works on the XGA but doesn't anymore on the 8514/A (it
definitely worked on 8514/A with 1.2 and 1.3, but I'm not shure anymore
about the XGA).
Thanks for any help, regards, Martin Erzberger
