To emulate a PseudoColor visual class

Start the X server using PseudoColor as the default visual class by
adding defclass PseudoColor to the openwin command or to
the Xservers file.

For example, for a one-headed system using the DX2 board, type:

openwin -dev /dev/dx2pci0.0 defclass PseudoColor

For a two-headed system using the DX2 board, type:

openwin -dev /dev/dx2pci0.0 defclass PseudoColor \
-dev /dev/dx2pci0.1 defclass PseudoColor

To check the default visual

Use the xdpyinfo command to check the default visual of a screen.
Look at the correct screen and find the visual with the matching ID to
verify that it is PseudoColor. (See

page 18

.)

When used on a color display, the TrueColor and DirectColor visual
classes default to using 24 bpp. All other visual classes, as well as all
visual classes on a grayscale display, default to using 8 bpp.
