Colormaps and Colormap ManagementColor Graphics devices have two hardware colormaps (color lookup tables), each with 256 entries. The X server controls the allocation and contents of these hardware colormaps.
Default Colormap Management SchemeMany applications use the default X11 colormap. A technicolor effect in the windows using the default colormap occurs when a
Because so many applications use the default X11 colormap, including the window manager, and because Color Graphics devices have two hardware colormaps, the default behavior on this device is to dedicate one hardware colormap to always hold the default X11 colormap. The second hardware colormap is available to applications that use colormaps other than the default.
The default behavior can cause technicolor if two or more applications are using different,
