Up until now I've been a strictly PC only guy.  I'm trying to get XFree86
working on my SparcStation4 right now.  It runs fine, I get WindowMaker
all nice and good, but the display is 8bit only.  I've changed the symlink
of /usr/X11R6/bin/X to point to /usr/X11R6/bin/Xsun24 and it still runs in
8 bit color.  Anyone know how to make it run in 24 bit, or even if a
SparcStation 4 can?  I noticed that there's no xf86config program with the
sparc packages.  There's also no /etc/XF86Config file.  Any clues?
