This is more a linux question, but I have asked in some Linux 
conferences with no success.

I am running 1.2.1 in Mandrake 7.2.Trying to run the graphics demo 
produces axes, but no lines and I get an error message:

error in abline (h=0, col=gray(0,9))Error:X11 cannot allocate 
additional graphics colors consider using x11 with colortype = 
"pseudo.color" or "gray"

I am completely new to R and Linux and I am not sure how to fix this, I 
am also not sure on how fixing this will affect other program such as 
Grass which seems to have no problems drawing different coloured lines.

Can any one advise me how I fix this? It was installed with the 
Mandrake RPM, and I did think of installing 1.2.2 to see if that 
helped, but the Mandrake RPM isn't on Cran, there is a readme, but no 
binary.

Many Thanks,

Graham S
