I can muddy the water for you. On my VMS 8.3 box (a not new Alphastation
500) I get this:
richardlo $ xdpyinfo
name of display: _WSA2:
version number: 11.0
vendor string: DECWINDOWS Hewlett-Packard Development Company OpenVMS
vendor release number: 8003
maximum request size: 65535 longwords (262140 bytes)
motion buffer size: 0
bitmap unit, bit order, padding: 32, LSBFirst, 32
image byte order: LSBFirst
number of supported pixmap formats: 2
supported pixmap formats:
depth 1, bits_per_pixel 1, scanline_pad 32
depth 8, bits_per_pixel 8, scanline_pad 32
So I don't have a pixmap format with a depth of 4 either. But my Redhat
Linux EL6.6 box does, it reports support for 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 24, and 32.
