I have updated PR# port-sparc/10170 with changes for cgfourteen.c to
   allow 24-bit color.  The changes to this file correct the calculation
   of the display buffer size and allow it to be completely mapped.  The
   frame buffer is still reported to be a CG8 (instead of the default CG3)
   when the 24-bit support is enabled (a compile-time option); however,
   the emulation is incomplete: the CG8 apparently supports 24-bit
   DirectColor (in which the RGB values from the display memory are used
   as indexes into separate red, green, and blue color tables) as well as
   24-bit TrueColor (in which the RGB values are intensities, not
   indexes).  The CG14's color tables are apparently ignored in 24-bit
   mode.  The X server assumes that 24-bit displays support both TrueColor
   and DirectColor by default; with this changed, the server successfully
   runs on the CG14, but this change would affect other platforms as

wow, cool.


you should probably post your current changes, so we can
figure out how to integrate them!
