...and everything else Linux :-) I've been trying to run a simple graphics program from the Linux:first contact book (which seems excellent, btw), using their BasicGraphics class. It displays the window, with a scale along the side, then pops up a message saying it can't allocate a background using the default colormap (or was it a colormap, using the default background? - sorry, I'm at work, doing this from a poor memory:) Netscape does the same, and I've seen plenty messages about that, but it's not such a problem - I canb live with a white background for a while. Please, has anyone any helpful advice? I don't really understand anyhting else i've seen, apart from starting Netscape with an -install switch, but that doesn't seem relevant. I've got redhat 5.2, jdk117_v3, fvwm95, Cyrix 6x86 P200+, diminishing number of braincells...
