This probably will not be read - mail from the aips account - but I
will try.  See the AIPS Manager FAQ on the web site
    http://www.aoc.nrao.edu/aips/
The Linux systems all come with a 16-bit "TrueColor" X Windows visual
as the only choice.  This is inadequate to do science so I have
refused to let XAS support it (or no one would do the easy fix to much
better choices).  You need to run either with a 8 bit visual (and
PseudoColor) or preferably a 24 bit visual with a real TrueColor.
