The blink_task is my problem I believe. It's what is giving me the
original error. I have my color depth set to 8 or 256 colors already.
I have tried different settings with no success. I am using Free BSD
4.9 on the workstation. I have searched the archives but have not found
anything that helps me yet.
Thanks,
Shaun

Hi there.
Blinking of colors and loading the color pallette is done by=20
a program called "blink_task".
It is supposed to be started by the script which starts the
display manager or FoxView. =20
The "proper" way to start a remote display manager is to=20
telnet in to the AW/WP, log in as "ia" with password "remote"=20
and the DM or FV should all start automaticaly, including=20
the blink task.
Assuming you are doing that, there are reasons why blink_task may
fail when it is started, but unfortunately I can't remember the
common ones right now. Anyway, look for blink_task in your
troubleshooting.

Ok, I have just set up an x terminal on a Free BSD workstation to run as
a remote display manager. Everything works great except for the
blinking colors. For example when I get a system alarm the sys button
does not flash. Before the DM starts I get a warning message stating
that the IA colors may be wrong and blinking may be disabled. I am
connecting to an AW51 with IA version 6.3. Does anyone have any
suggestions?
