[GRASSLIST:1307] Colormode problems on powerpc linux

[Allan Hollander]

Hi --

I'm not able to switch to colormode float on my GRASS setup, which is a
recent CVS build running under Yellow Dog Linux on an iMac DV (Rage 128
video card, using XFree86 4.0).  Here's a relevant snippet from the
commands:

   GRASS 5.0beta10 > d.mon start=x0
   using default visual which is TrueColor
   Visual is read-only or using a private colormap
   ncolors: 32768
   allocating memory...
   Graphics driver [x0] started

   Mapset <allan> in Location <califutm10>   
   GRASS 5.0beta10 > d.colormode mode=float

   Sorry, floating color table not available on this device

   Mapset <allan> in Location <califutm10> 
   GRASS 5.0beta10 > 

Does anybody have any insights or fixes that will enable me to use a
floating color table?

Many thanks,
