Hi,

My plan -- to run 3.1 ColorX server on Quadra700 in 16 bit mode
with NuBus video card -- is crashed.
(This is my silly story, sorry for the useless.)

1) 3.1 full sets (including X) is installed from scratch.
2) twm starts up in 8 bbp mode with some 'not faital errors';

    >error opening security policy file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/ 
SecurityPolicy
    >twm: invalid color name "black"
    (snip)
    >Xlib: extension "RENDER" missing on display ":0.0".

3) I ignored them, started to make install windowmaker and links-gui.
    Xlib: extension "RENDER" is installed at this time, maybe.
4) After 30 hours, Quadra700 has successfully finished his works.
5) Put E-Machines Futura II LX (NuBus video card) in Quadra700.
6) boot up: Quadra700 + Futura II LX + EIZO FlexScan E65T got;
    >panic: cnopen: no console device
    ??

7) I changed monitor to Apple Apple 12" RGB Display.
    boot up OK, startx:
    >Couldn't open RGB_DB '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb'
    >This is not a fatal error.
    >Couldn't set video mode to desired depth.
    >I gather there is no video ROM driver present for this display.

    Futura II LX (it was in IIci) does't work in 16 bit mode ??

8) Very disappointed. I gave up to use Q700, and moved HDD to Q650.

    WindowMaker started up, but soon restarted with spitting _more_  
errors.
    (snip  same as above except "X connection to :0.0 broken")
    >wmaker warning: could not parse color "black"
    (snip many lines)
    >wmaker warning: using default "black" instead
    >wmaker warning: could not parse color "black"
    >wmaker warning: could not get color for key "IconTitleBack"
    >wmaker warning: Window Maker exited due to a crash (signal 11)  
and will be restarted.
    (repeats endlessly)

9) With scorning my stubbornness, I installed 1.6.2 X sets.
    ColorX doesn't start up with;
    >/usr/pkg/lib/libXrender.so.1: Undefined symbol  
"_Xglobal_lock" (symnum = 46)
    (Xrender-0.9.0nb1 is installed at step3.)

10) Install 3.1 X sets again
    ColorX server (+WindowMaker) runs now on Quadra650.


The problems in twm and wm are something related "color",
if I could make a patch, I don't need 1.6 X ...  No, I can't. :p

Many thanks to Marco and Hauke for advices,
     ... about links-gui-2, ... no comment now. :)
