Hi, guys,
I have new question. In my program, I want my text to be blink in some 
condition. The first method I thought is to change the background color of 
that text and redraw it. But this method can't have a good performance if I 
have 100 places want to be blink at the same time.

So I just chang the color defined in colormap and call flush function. Let X 
server to handle the redraw. It works fine on windows NT and Solaris system. 
The only limitation is you can have only 256 colors. But on Linux, I can't 
make it work. I set the depth to 8. I think it means 256 colors.

I try to compare the difference on Solaris and Linux. When I run xdpyinfo. I 
found both depth value is 8, but the significant bits of in color 
specification is 6 bits on Linux and 8 bits on Solaris. I don't if this is 
the problem.

Does anyone know how to solve my blink problem?? or Please tell me if I can 
change the significant bits value.

Thanks,

Lei Yu
