X Server configuration details
initializing the colormap with xintcolormap
The
xinitcolormap
client initializes the X colormap. Specific X colormap entries (pixel
values) are made to correspond to specified colors. An initialized colormap is required by
applications that assume a predefined colormap.
xinitcolormap
has the following syntax:
xinitcolormap
[<
options
>]
where the <
options
> are:
■
-f
<
colormapfile
>
Specifies a file containing a colormap.
■
-display
<
display
>
Specifies the server to connect to.
■
-c
<
count
>
Only the first count colors from the colormap file will be used if this parameter is specified.
■
-k
or
-kill
Deallocate any colormap entries that were allocated by a previous run of
xinitcolormap
.
xinitcolormap
chooses a colormap file in the order shown below. Once one is found, the
other sources aren’t searched.
1. The command line option [-f<
colormapfile
>].
2. Colormap default value.
3. The xcolormap file in
/usr/lib/X11
.
4. If no colormap file is found, this default colormap specification is assumed black (colormap
entry 0), white, red, yellow, green, cyan, blue, magenta (colormap entry 7).
xinitcolormap
should be the first client program run at the start of a session in order to
assure that colormap entries have the color associations specified in the colormap file.
Sometimes you may encounter this X toolkit warning:
X Toolkit Warning: cannot allocate colormap entry for 94c4d0
where “94c4d0” is a color specified in the application running. If this occurs, it means that you
have probably reached the limit of colors for your graphics card/display combination. Executing
xinitcolormap may solve the problem.
