So, I did a little tinkering on this, I have a tiny script called x_twm that looks like: #!/bin/sh X $* & xterm & exec twm If I run it as 'x_twm -depth 24', everything is fine. However, if I do 'x_twm -depth 24 +bs', it *says* that backing store is enabled. If I left click to bring up the menu, it is blank until I move the mouse pointer over each menu entry. *Something* isn't right. This also happens when I comment out dri and glx from the Module section, so it doesn't seem specific to DRI. Ideas? Is this a (previously) known issue? -- Smile! http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap990315.html ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: viaVerio will pay you up to $1,000 for every account that you consolidate with us. http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;4749864;7604308;v? http://www.viaverio.com/consolidator/osdn.cfm _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
