In my app, from the fl_state it appears on my Linux machine the Visual
class is
TrueColor with a colormap of 33 and a depth of 15. On the Sun, the
visual class
is PseudoColor with the same colormap and a depth of 8. This, I assume,
is reading
the setup of the X server for my video card/monitor combo.

Most of my drawing is with Xlib functions. I set the foreground and
background for the
GC using FL_COLORs and then draw lines/text or copy a pixmap. I'm also
using
a GXxor drawing mode. XForms objects do not change color.
There is no color flashing.

I can run the app via rlogin to the Sun and display on the Linux box,
but not vice versa,
due to unrelated admin problems. When I do this, the results are the
same as running on the
Linux.
I can change the X settings on the Linux machine to visual PseudoColor
and depth 8 to match
Sun, but the Sun is my target machine and I don't know how to change its
X settings.
I don't understand why an FL_COLOR displays differently on each machine
no matter
what the Visual class is. I.E. both pseudocolor and truecolor should
display a FL_RED
as red, shouldn't they?
