           Summary: cairo-1.4.12 works for 24bit, fails for 8bit screen on
                    same X server
           Product: cairo
           Version: 1.4.9
          Platform: SPARC
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: xlib backend
        AssignedTo: cworth at cworth.org
        ReportedBy: anirkko at insel.ch
         QAContact: cairo-bugs at cairographics.org


On the same machine (Solaris2.6) running 3 screens on the same X server,
pango with cairo-1.4.12 works on screen 2 (24bit colordepth), but fails
on screen 0 and screen 1 (8bit colordepth), see output below.
This seems kind of a nuisance because gtk/pango depends on cairo nowadays
and thus fails, whereas earlier versions of gtk (which didn't depend
on cairo) worked! Also, this prevents display on old remote machines
with 8bit screens.

% setenv DISPLAY :0.2
% pango-view GLASS.txt
     (--> displays correctly)

% setenv DISPLAY :0.1
% pango-view GLASS.txt
Error: Cairo 1.4.12 does not yet support the requested image format:
        Depth: 8

        Green mask: 0x00000000
        Blue  mask: 0x00000000
