- Yes. Executor internally can still only do 8-bit graphics, but if you
- run it on a system with a 16-bit or 24-bit X server, Executor maps its
- internal pixels to the X server's RGB pixels as they are displayed.
- This means that the accuracy of the pixel colors is limited only by
- the accuracy of your card's RGB colors.
-
- You can also run Executor in "-privatecmap" mode even on 8-bit X
- servers, which should give you 8-bit colors as accurate as the X
- server provides. I'd guess that XFree86 does a good job of using
- 8/8/8 DACs where available.
