A/UX 1.1: X11 and Color Support

* For technical accuracy.


If X11 supports only 8-bit deep screens, does that mean I can't have color
using the Macintosh II Video Card without upgrading it with the Expansion Kit
(from 4 bits per pixel to 8 bits per pixel) ?.

We have verified that the current A/UX X11R3 MacX server supports only
1-bit and 8-bit colors.  The 4 bits per pixel is not supported at this
time.

The "X11 -screen 0 -depth 4" command still shows only black and white even
if you have the Video Expansion Kit installed.
