We wish to run an old X program which has hard-coded an 8 plane visual. Bad practice but fixing it does not look like a 2 minute job. The problem machines are running RH 7.1 with XFree86 4.0.3. The graphics card is an ATI Rage 128. Modifying the config file for the X server works for 15, 16 and 24 planes but not 8. The log for the X server reports a memory manager failure. The man page for the r128 driver states that 8 planes is supported.
The program runs and displays fine on X systems which can provide an 8 plane visual. We have checked this for Solaris and Debian/Linux. We are fairly sure the latter machine has the same graphics card as the problem machines. Many thanks for any tips, pointers or suggestions. _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
