System name: w20-575-76
Type and version: KN02ba 7.4G
Display type: PMAGB-BA
What were you trying to do?
Use color.
What's wrong:
I ran xdpyinfo on a Maxine with a color monitor and on this
DS5000/133 with a greyscale display of some sort. These are the
differences:
# 33 w20-575-76 Jul 10 6:56am ~
; diff xdpyinfo.25 xdpyinfo.133
28,29c28,29
< dimensions: 1024x768 pixels (279x229 millimeters)
< resolution: 93x85 dots per inch

> resolution: 98x102 dots per inch

< default visual id: 0x20

> default visual id: 0x22
Why does it think this machine has a color display?
What should have happened:
I don't understand the types of things that could cause this
problem, but I should be able to distinguish between these two displays.
Someone's lying somewhere.
