They support the same maximum request size - no surprises there, then. Box 1 supports 24-bit visuals but Box 2 support both 24-bit and 32-bit visuals. I don't know if that might confuse some of your software? (not that I /really/ believe that) My guess is that there is some bug in Render -- or in the software that calls render, namely the combination of the Windows font handling code in Wine and xlib. And also that this is probably provoked by the fonts you have installed. Another set of fonts might work fine. Are you able to compile programs yourself? You might want to get the program xscope from Keith Packard's CVS and run it on both box 1 and box 2 to get a trace of the request streams (warning: they are going to be big). If one of the traces really does contain an enormous request we can rule out the Render code in the X server (and the rest of the X server). The contents of such a request should help in finding out whether to blame xlib, the client-side render code, or Wine.

There, they use the tool xcap, which is also in Keith's CVS. (as is the actual paper itself, as the module Usenix2003). http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~mac/manuals/solaris-manual-pages/solaris/usr/openwin/man/man6/xscope.6.html A man page for the xscope version shipped with a very old version of Solaris (it was still called SunOS, I believe). This is just so you quickly can check whether it sounds useful and doable for you. -Peter Being really good at C++ is like being really good at using rocks to sharpen sticks. -- Thant Tessman _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
