Hi Laurent, Hmmmmm, I found where the " XAS: ** Sorry, must limit to 8" message is coming from. For some reason it doesn't think you want to use TrueColor. Look in your ~/.Xdefaults file, is there something which says: "AIPStv*useTrueColor:"? If yes, what is it set to (1 for true; 0 for false). Cheers, Amy
