RE: alt-tab: client window receives tab / pressing both shift-key s = caps-lock


Please call me Geert or Gerard, only my friends call me by my surname ;-)

I prefer using XWin fullscreen if I need pseudocolor, to running Windows 8
bit.  And I only need it rarely, just for one Oracle product (reports).
Anyway, for that purpose I've confiscated an old portable and I'm putting
Redhat on it, so I can use that when I need pseudocolor.

Keep up the good hacking,

Gerard

Pille,

We have pseudocolor without going fullscreen.  You have to use the GDI DIB-
based engine, which is engine 1.  For example:

XWin -engine 1

Of course, you have to be running Windows at 8 bits per pixel to start with.

On the other hand, if you are talking about supporting multiple visual
types, 
that seems to be the promise of Keith Packard's Layer extension.  
Unfortunately, the layer extension is as well documented as the randr
(resize 
and rotate) extension and the shadow extension: that is to say, not at all.

(At least it is not documented from a server implementors perspective.)
I've 
tried telling layer to create some new visual types but I was never 
successful.
