For a while it was possible to use IM in Xastir if one made sure not to enable HRI support, but that was an impediment to compiling Xastir --- if you got it built then it generally worked. This "colorspace != RGB" issue has cropped up a few times recently, and I have no idea what new breakage from IM is responsible for it. We really need to deprecate IM support in Xastir. Chasing down their incompatibilities is a full-time job. > On Thursday, May 7, 2015, Tom Russo <[1][email protected]> wrote: > > On Thu, May 07, 2015 at 08:51:13AM -0600, we recorded a bogon-computron > collision of the <[2][email protected]> flavor, containing: > >** ** Awesome!!
