Re: Two colormaps ?


Christian,

Do NOT use the -emulatepseudo parameter. It does not do what you think it does.

ONLY use the following parameters:
startx -- -depth 8 -fullscreen

Give that a try and report back.

Hello,
I try to explain my problem.

I have a graphic application running fine on HP-UX, and displaying OK on HP workstation. I try to have it display (correctly ! ) on my notebook.

The notebook : HP VT 6200 , 15" , 1400x1050 resolution, Windows XP Pro.

I installed Cygwin version 1.3.13-2 including XFree 86 4.2.15
twm is the only window manager installed. So I use it.

The application (staticcaly linked with X11R5 lib) requires 2 colormaps...
and use XtConvertAndStore for various colors. So I need PseudoColor mode, I
use :
startx -- -emulatepseudo -depth 8 -fullscreen

I rlogin Hp-Ux-Workstation and start the application.
It is mostly OK but ...:
The application opens windows, with drawings... and it is not re-drawn (I have to ask for redraw through an application fonctionality) ! Any suggest whould be welcome !

The other problem is for the drawings requiring the second colormap, of course.. Is there a way to have it ?

By now, I have only tried Cygwin, but I expect to install Mandrake 9 soon (but I miss the disk driver !).
May be Xf86config will help ?

I hope that someone can help me to solve that. (And that my english can be understood)


Thanks a lot.
Christian
