Hi,

We have a meteorological program (GEMPAK) that requires our Xserver to
be set to default in 8-bit mode in order to display the graphical plots
it generates. The problem is our DEC 433au is defaulted to 24-bit mode
and I don't know how to change it. Does anybody know how I can
accomplish this?

Thanks,

Chris V.
