Hello,
I am trying to solve a problem which i have, when I remote login from linux into a Sparc with Solaris

Is there anybody who is using a solaris system and use linux as remote terminal ???

I need 24 bit colors.

Colors looks good, exept the short shown logo. It is yellow.
If I start application, colors looks good. But when the application
show's a grayscale image, it is yellow.
Checking the present colors in this image, I found out, there is NO blue color
in the image. Looks like a defect color monitor without the blue color signal.
Changing the X commanand to start with 8 color depth, this is no problem, however
I have to less colors for the application.
If I login with reflection, it works correctly.
I tryed different distro's and different versions of Xserver (xorg & x86free)
With the command xdpyinfo I see a difference between reflection and my Xorg output.

Difference:

reflection: bitmap unit, bit order, padding: 32, MSBFirst, 32
reflection: image byte order: MSBFirst

xorg: bitmap unit, bit order, padding: 32, LSBFirst, 32
xorg: image byte order: LSBFirst

reflection: number of colormaps: minimum 1, maximum 16383
reflection: default colormap: 0x2a

xorg: number of colormaps: minimum 1, maximum 1
xorg: default colormap: 0x20

reflection: red, green, blue masks: 0xff, 0xff00, 0xff0000
xorg: red, green, blue masks: 0xff0000, 0xff00, 0xff

I don't know if this difference is causing the problem, nor do I know
how to change them.
If somebody knows the cause of problem, or where to look for, would be
very helpfull.

Well, I've had similar problems with using Linux as the local machine to remote Solaris, Mac OS X, AND other Linux boxen! Finally just gave up and switched all my workstations to Solaris. Still have Linux as a server here and there, and that is OK.

Thanx for the response, I was getting crazy, finding me as the only one
who would have this problem, However I can not change the setup, Thus I
have to find a solution for this color problem. There must be one. Very
strange, there is nothing to find on the internet about this.
