I'm trying to get an Xserver working in color on my Macintosh Centris
650
using its internal video. I've just installed OpenBSD v 2.4 with all of
the
latest X software. X works properly in monochrome if I set the system to
that before booting into OpenBSD.
I'm attempting to use the Xmac68k server module. The man page for
Xmac68k
actually shows headers for another program (XmacII) that is not included
in
the distribution that I got. The man page also indicates that the
program
DOES support color.
When I boot with 8-bit color I see the following monitor-specific info
in dmesg:
intvid0 at obio0: DAFB Monitor sense 1.
intvid0: 640 x 480, 256 color
grf0 at intvid0
ite0 at grf0 (minimal console)
If I try to run Xmac68k with that setup I get:
Fatal server error:
I don't support color screens!
Can anyone in the know tell me: Does Xmac68k support color on my
hardware or
at all, or is the man page wrong. I've attempted to locate updated
Xserver
software through XFree86, but I cannot find any Macintosh-specific
software
in the OpenBSD/m68k sections.
