[ REQ 5496]: geomview error message

[zod at bigjilm.colorado.edu]

Hello,
	I am running geomview under Linux 1.2.10 with X11R6 just fine
in 8 bit mode (1024x768).  However, when I attempt to run geomview in
16 bit mode (1280x1024 and 1024x768) I receive the following error
message:

X-Geomview currently supports only 24, 8, and 1 bit
        deep displays.  No supported display depth was found.
        Please mail the output of "xdpyinfo" to
        software@geom.umn.edu

I ftp'd a pre-compiled binary package so I have no idea what custom
configuration may have been compiled in.  Is it possible that it may
have been compiled for 8bit use only?

Enclosed is a copy of the output of the "xdpyinfo" command.  If this
is not sufficient information for a diagnosis, please feel free to
contact me via the return path of this letter, or better yet at
the email address listed below.
