! There may be someone on the list who knows about running nx under Sunray
! (VDI/ALP) and will help you directly.

Thanks for your response.

! Meanwhile it would be interesting to see the output of xdpyinfo on the
! sunray.

! Can you change the colour depth/format on the sunray to different values
! (e.g. DirectColor, 16 bits or 24 bits)? If so, it could be interesting
! to play with those settings.

No, the Sunray protocol always uses a 24-bit color depth.

! It looks to me like the pixel format on the sunray is a bit unusual and
! nx can't handle it.
