- I don't know where the difference lies. I ran the command successfully on
- an 8.07 system to a 9.0 X server. The difference may be caused by the X
- server or the differences between our resource databases. It may be because
- your server had all of the color cells in the default colormap used up.

- P.S. Do you have the "red" and "blue" cables swapped between your computer
- and monitor?
