Hi..
Before, when I had 1.5.2 installed, I was using my Sun's S24(TCX) with 24-bit
color using the patches which were created by Charles Carvalho (are you still
around, Charles? :). I have upgraded to 1.6, and in the process I noticed
that these patches were merged into the TCX driver. So, I enabled the CG8
emulation, compiled, and rebooted. OK, card picks up fine and reports it's
in CG8 mode - same as before.
However... When I try to start Xsun24, I get this message:
Fatal Server Error:
CG24UpdateColormap: FBIOPUTCMAP Failed.
I get the same error when using the modified 1.5.2 Xsun24 which was a part
of the old TCX 24-bit patches. Both servers recognize the TCX as a cg8/MEMCOLOR
when queried with the -fbinfo flag.
This SHOULD be working. That's all I can really say about it. Hopefully someone
can shed some light on the issue?
