How to get color apps to work in color over telnet?

Post by Andrew Trou » Fri, 28 Jan 2000 04:00:00



Hi,
Has anyone else had this problem?  When I run Midnight Commander, (or
any other console app that uses color) over a telnet connection from a
win98 box, it only comes up in black and white.

I have tried several different telnet clients, but none will give me
any color!

Any ideas?
Thanks

Linux needs to have its terminal type set to Linux Console, and your
emulator needs to support Linux Console emulation.  Kermit 95 does:

1. X Apps using color tables running on 32 bit color

I need info on how Linux (maybe this is a generic X win question) allows
apps to run that use XAllocColors and color tables.  The problem that I
have is this X app (motif really, hosted on another platform, using
Linux as the display) is requesting some colors, but refuses to run when
the display is my Linux box.  The XAllocColors call fails to allocate
the needed number of colors.  At first, I thought that maybe it has a
problem because my Display had a color depth of 32 bits, and was
confusing the app.  Changing the color depth in XF86Config to 8 bits
didn't work either.  

Anyone know of a good web resouce that discusses X color problems?

Thanks,
Larry Richardson
