[SunHELP] Problem with Creator3D on Ultra 2 and color mapping in CDE

[Robert Banniza]

Anyone know a solution for this? When I'm at the dtlogin screen,
everything is very light colored (light (bright) grey vs. grey). When I
log in to CDE, again everything is very bright. However, when I run
Netscape, everything returns to its normal colors and is rich in color.
I'm running my video card in 24 bit depth (i.e. Xserver has -dev /dev/fb
defdepth 24) but this doesn't seem to fix it. My ffbconfig
-prconf/-prconf output is as follows:

I appreciate any help.
