Subject: Font problem??

    Hi all,

    Not sure wether its a hardware limitation or a font problem:

    On a SS5 (CG6 video) i try from commandline : X -indirect name-of-xdm-server
    The xdm-server is our corporate solaris machine.
    X starts op and I got the chooser window, but... text color and
    background-color are the same.

    If i choose any line, and press the connect button, i get to *A* machine and
    receives a graphical login-window.
    I asume this is because on this machine there is only 8-bit video available,
    but how can i force it to choose other colors?

    I have tried changing ~/.Xresources and /etc/X11/xdm/Xresources:
    Chooser*label.background: black
    Chooser*label.foreground: white

    But with no result: grey text on grey background...

    The story behind it all: trying to turn an sun4m into an X-terminal
    described in http://www.menet.umn.edu/~kaszeta/unix/xterminal/index.html

     

    Kind regards
