To subscribers of the xforms list from "Vince Magnotta" <vince@nissl.psychiatry.uiowa.edu> :

Here is a better description of the problem I am having with
the glcanvas in color index mode.

I want to create a 256 color colormap for the canvas.
I assume from the documentation that you have to use X to
allocate the colors themselves. First I create a new colormap with

newColorMap = fl_create_colormap(xvinfo, 0);

Then I set the canvas colormap

fl_set_canvas_colormap(fd_movie->movieCanvas, newColorMap);

I then try to allocate the color cells using X with

XAllocColorCells(fl_get_display(), newColorMap, True, NULL, 0,
colorCells, 256);

It is this X routine that always fails. I would then like to set the colors
using a function like

XStoreColor(fl_get_display(), newColorMap, &color);

Thanks - Vince
