I have to admit that I didn't know that ... :-o As GXT255P is withdrawn from support, the next machines we'll get will have the GXT2000 installed. I'll try to get hold of such a box and see if the problem persists (also hoping that the new adapter has the same "missing feature" ;-) ). Meanwhile I'll try to build 21.2-b19 totatlly from scratch, maybe something went wrong when applying patches. The last tarballs I downloaded were b15. --- Markus Alt IBM Laboratory Boeblingen, Germany Valdis.Kletnieks(a)vt.edu on 09/29/99 05:32:15 PM Please respond to Valdis.Kletnieks(a)vt.edu To: Markus Alt/Germany/IBM＠IBMDE cc: xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org Subject: Re: XEmacs' desktop icon greyed out in 21.2 On Wed, 29 Sep 1999 16:34:38 +0200, ALTMARK(a)de.ibm.com said: Oh.. You *did* know that the GXT255P is known to be brain-dead with colormap management, didn't you? ;) Even if you fix your XServers file to start it with a 24-bit TrueColor visual as the default, some applications Lose Big Time on it. I believe if you poke around the support center databases, there's a Q&A you can find if you search for 'colormap', 'GXT255P' and 'netscape'. I know for a fact that Tk/Tcl (and particularly 'exmh') tickles the bug too, but I've never received a totally clear explanation of what the card/driver does wrong. /Valdis (who hopes like hell the GXT2000 isn't similarly borked) ;)
