Paolo <oopla@users.sf.net> reports:

I'm accessing a Sarge sys via a vnc session at 8bit, and all I got is:

2005-02-26 06:59:40.000 GWorkspace[31699] NOTE: Only one display per host
fully supported.
2005-02-26 06:59:40.000 GWorkspace[31699] WARNING - XGServer is unable to use
the fast algorithm for writing to an 8-bit display on this host - the most
likely reason being the StandardColormap RGB_BEST_MAP has not been
installed.
2005-02-26 06:59:40.000 GWorkspace[31699] Unrecognized color masks:
00000007:00000038:000000c0 8
2005-02-26 06:59:40.000 GWorkspace[31699] Please report this along with
details on your pixel format (ie. the four numbers above). (Or better yet,
implement it and send me a patch.)

Lars Wirzenius <liw@iki.fi> answer:

I tried it with an 8-bit X server running under qemu. The results were pretty
much identical: neither GWorkspace nor Mines (the two GNUstep programs I
tried) would run. When I configured it to be a 24-bit screen, Mines would run
without problems.
