Description: This is version 2.0 of Xsun24 (X11 server for Sun)
It supports CG8, CG9 and CG12 in addition to all Suns which are
supported by X11R4.
For a CG8 and a CG9, it provides two screens: a colour screen
(screen 0, by default) and a monochrome screen (screen 1). The screens
toggle when the mouse cursor goes off the side edges. On a CG12, the
only 24 bit colour screen is available.
On a 24 bit colour machine, the colour side of the server can be
either a TrueColor or a DirectColor visual, selectable at compile time.
A TrueColor server has a predefined but non-writable colormap. All
16.7 million colours are ready to use, so it is suitable for
displaying full colour images.
A DirectColor server has a writable colormap, but you have to
allocate a new pixel whenever you use a new colour. It seems that
many clients are written for a PseudoColor server, i.e., they expect a
writable colormap. So you have to use a DirectColor server for such
clients (xfade is one of them.)
If the compilation is done on a machine which has a graphic
accelerator (i.e. CG6, CG9, or CG12), the resulting server uses
pixrect code in some routines to get the advantage of the hardware.
Otherwise it treates the colour board as a dumb frame buffer.
