I use

prompt> fink --version
Package manager version: 0.23.6
Distribution version: 0.7.1.rsync


on my 12" powerbook running 10.3.7.


gv was running file untill I decided to upgrade gv to 3.6.1. Now, whenever I start gv, I get this message in a background window:


Warning: Could not allocate backing pixmap in main window.

and the main window does not open the file at all. I searched online for this message, and got a link (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=88691) that said maybe the resolution has been changed and can be checked by running the following command. Indeed,


prompt> xdpyinfo | grep "resolution" resolution: 2147483647x2147483647 dots per inch


However, the webpage asked me to edit /etc/X11/XF86Config, which doesnt exist on my mac.


Can someone help me? Thanks!

Veera.







Veera: Try 'gv --nopixmap'. Is you mac low on memory?
