Changing the Server Visual

Server visual defines the color characteristics for the specified screen of your X server display. To configure server visual settings, select the Xconfig file you want to modify and open the Exceed onDemand Xconfig dialog box.

On the Screen page, select the appropriate option from the Server Visual drop-down list:

If the video driver setting is High Color or TrueColor, Exceed onDemand selects the TrueColor setting. If the video driver settings is 256 color, Exceed onDemand selects PseudoColor.

Sun Microsystems Compatible Colormap  Enables Sun Microsystems-compatible colors and affects the default settings of the PseudoColor server visual. Selecting this option reverses the allocation: black is allocated to cell one, and white is allocated to cell zero. By default, the X server allocates the color black to cell zero, and the color white to cell one when PseudoColor is enabled.

Multiple Color Depths Support  Enables advertisement of all supported visuals. This lets certain X applications display correctly (for example, if 8-bit PseudoColor or 24-bit TrueColor is the default visual on a high-color video device). Clearing this option means that Exceed onDemand advertises only the default visual.
