Hi,I have installed IRAF V2.14.1 in my Fedora 9 Linux, and then I installed
X11IRAF (v1.5DEV), but Ximtool doesn't work. The error is the following:[i:f51d8542c4]ecl> !ximtool &
ecl>
ERROR: Detected incorrect X visual: depth=24 class=TrueColorXImtool currently requires an 8-bit PseudoColor visual in order
to operate properly. Unfortunately the only workaround for this
at present is to start an 8-bit server using commands such as % startx -- -bpp 8 # XFree86 V3.x
% startx -- -depth 8 # XFree86 V4.x
% Xsun :0 -dev /dev/fb defclass PseudoColor defdepth 8 # Sun
% Xdec -vclass0 PseudoColor # Digital UnixThe actual commands used will vary depending on the platform,
window manager/desktop used, and in some cases video hardware.
See the Xserver(1) and xinit(1) man page for details. Users should
also contact IRAF site support (iraf@noao.edu) with any questions
or problems.[/i:f51d8542c4]Can you help me?Thanks,
German.

XImtool currently only works on 8-bit displays (but a new version is in the works). See e.g. https://iraf.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=82947 for the "canned" response that contains some workarounds in the meantime.-Mike
