PROBLEM
The quality of the image or layout exported from ArcMap server on Solaris is poor.
When an 8-bit pixel depth setting is used on the ArcIMS Server machine, the output image generated on that server may be grainy or pixelated.
The default behavior of ArcIMS ArcMap server is to use a Virtual Display Server (XVFB) that emulates a frame buffer that is not associated with any physical display. The pixel depth for this virtual display server is automatically set to 24-bit when it is started. When XVFB is used the output image quality should be good.
This article applies only if the default behavior of ArcMap Server has been modified by disabling the use of XVFB and if the current color depth setting is not 24-bit.

Code:
:0 Local local_uid@console root /usr/openwin/bin/X -dev /dev/fb0 defdepth 24
Note:
The color depth can also be changed to 8-bit by specifying defdepth 8 in this line.
