Hello,
I built RealVNC 4.1.1 and Xfree86 4.2.1 for AIX 5.2. I used gcc 3.3.2, GNU
make 3.80, the ibm.cf, ibmLib.rules and ibmLib.tmpl config
files from Xorg and parts of the hpux_gcc.patch that came from VNC. (The ibm
files that came with Xfree86 seem to have some problems
I couldn't fix). BTW, I used 4.2.1 because that is the latest rev the RealVNC
people use.
The problem I have involves color issues when using a program called CATIA V4.
This is a modeling program where the actual drawing
area
has the correct colors, but the text areas where you select functions and
commands are not right. If I set the VNC server to be 24
bit and TrueColor, then I can't read the text at all. The letters are black on
a black background. If I set the server to 8 bit
PseudoColor, the letters are very dark blue on a black background. Usable but
terrible on the eyes. It should be white letters on a
gray background.
I really don't know anything about Xservers etc. I did a xdpyinfo when
connected to the AIX box using VNC and also sitting at the AIX
machine itself. Below are the outputs for comparison. Can anyone tell me why my
colors are not correct? And is this something I can
fix or something I have to live with?
Thanks for any help.
