Subject: [9fans] drawterm/emu + sun X server 24bit visual: initmap fails

The (X11 support) initmap code in drawterm and in (inferno's) emu
seems to have a problem with the 24bit color visuals offered by
our solaris 2.6 out-of-the-box (AFAIK) X server:
    drawterm-linux: cannot detect x server byte order
    emu: win-x11 can't convert 24bit colors

For drawterm I worked around by prefering 16bit visual over 24bit
in xinitscreen; for inferno I intend to do something similar.

I don't see myself fixing initmap, but I'm perfectly willing
to test someone elses fix(es).

Axel.
