vncserver on Fedora 9 cannot create 8 bit TrueColor session

[James Weatherall]

Hi Ashish,

Yes, it will - BGR233 can't express greys, since it has uneven numbers of
bits for each colour component.

Why do you want to use 8-bit TrueColor anyway?  I'm actually a little
surprised that any modern X applications even work with that format.

Cheers,
