I get error messages when I try to display X11 on my PC. I am running the Hummingbird Exceed X11 emulator.

A) The Hummingbird Exceed X11 emulator (and maybe other systems) use the 'TrueColor' display by default.

You should change the configuration settings so that it uses 'PseudoColor'. In version 6.1 of Hummingbird Exceed, this is done by clicking on the Exceed section of the Windows 98 tool bar at the bottom of the screen. Select 'Tools', then 'Configuration', then Screen Definition. A window will appear.

In the 'Server Visual' popup menu on the left, select 'PseudoColor'. Click on 'OK'.

Other Frequently Asked Questions

• What sequence formats are supported?
• I'm trying to compile EMBOSS with the PNG support
• Is there a reference I can cite for EMBOSS?
• I have some very short protein sequences that EMBOSS thinks are nucleic sequences. How do I force EMBOSS to treat them as nucleic acid sequences?
• I have downloaded the Emboss source and installed it for use at XYZ University without any difficulty. The administration guide has advice on configuring the software using emboss.default, and has examples for allowing access to SRS indices. That appears to be done via the program getz, which is not part of the Emboss package.
• Plotters and pen colours.
• Where's the applications' documentation?
• How do I use my own private data file?
• Plotting with pepwheel gives interesting output. pepwheel -turns=8 -send=30 sw:p77837 -auto gives a helical wheel plot but the residues are plotted so every two circles are sat on top of one another.
