[Debian GNUstep maintainers] Bug#296977: [bug #12478] GNUstep don't start on a VNC or qemu 8bit display

Mon, 20 Jun 2005 21:47:22 +0000

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #12478 (project gnustep):

Same results.

Running GNUstep into a VNC X server (Xvnc).
When using default 16 bit depth, the following error arises:

| gnustep-back(art): Unrecognized color masks:
| 0000003f:000007c0:0000f800 16
| Gorm[29951] Please report this along with details on your pixel
| format (ie. the four numbers above) to 
| bug-gnustep@gnu.org.Better: implement it and send a patch.)

the same happens if I use -depth 8 or -depth 15. In these cases, this appears
before:

| 2005-06-20 18:40:48.000 Gorm[30122] WARNING - XGServer is 
| unable to use the fast algorithm for writing to an 8-bit
| display on this host - the most likely reason being the
| StandardColormap RGB_BEST_MAP has not been installed.

If the Xvnc server was started with -depth 24, everything works.

Using GNUstep CVS from today 2005-06-20.

Sorry, but no idea how to send a patch :)
