In image mode the default visual is the Depth 8 PseudoColor visual. In overlay mode it is the depth 3 or depth 4 PseudoColor visual as specified by the device file. In combined mode the first device file specifies the default visual. Examples are shown in the section below. VRX Device Files Different device files exist for the image planes and overlay planes on VRX devices. The X server supports three different modes of operation on VRX devices: image, overlay or combined. In image mode, the X server runs only in the image planes. This is the default on VRX devices.
