Hi,

I have problem with the colors in X-Windows/CDE on an Alpha EV5 21164
running Tru64 5.0.

The problem is that one application gets very strange colors when in
focus, it's almost impossible to use it. I think that I'm out of
colormaps, the output from xdpyinfo is shown below. As you can see,
the number of colormaps is "number of colormaps: minimum 1, maximum
1". I think that's the problem but I'm not sure. My question is, if
the problem is what I mentioned above, how do I increase the number of
colormaps? This problem with flashing colors is also called the
"Technicolor Effect".

Any other thoughts?

When I start the application (LSTC/ls-post) it says:
Can't obtain a full color doublebuffered Visual
OpenGL version 1.1
