Error with PseudoColor visual in 8-bit color mode

[Stefan Ritt]

I have a problem with the "Cadence" software, which is a chip design
software running under Solaris. To run, it likes only 8-bit color depth X
servers. When I run Cygwin-XFree86 as

  XWin.exe -ac -screen 0 1280x1024x8 -engine 4 -depth 8

I get the error from the Cadence software:

  *WARNING* Atr: Failed to find 8-plane PseudoColor visual

It should be noted that running the XFree86 under Linux in 8-bit mode works
fine.

Thanks,
