August Penguin talk

[Jim Gettys]

There are parts of the problems you are seeing that we won't fix.  As
Walter has noted, we screwed up wiring the GX output to display.
However, there is a more general colormap problem the camera application
is tickling in the X server which I hope we do fix (different trac
number), that causes the rainbow problem of the camera image and the
screwed up colors after running the camera application.

I can't predict exactly when we get that colormap problem fixed,
however.
