Perhaps take Alan's suggestion instead...give the framebuffer a Direct or True Colour visual instead of Pseudocolour. That will look rather strange because you'll only get two or three bits for each primary, but it will mean that you can't run out of colours. I'll see if I can figure out how to set this up...the documentation appears to be a bit sparse [unless Alan has any hints]. James
