Sounds like the problems I had when trying to use texx on a color
monitor.
- Introduce
`static int defaultDepth'
in the section `X-11 related variables' of texx.c,
- set it as
`defaultDepth = XDefaultDepth(DISP, defaultScreen);'
in main(...) right after you've set defaultScreen and
- use it in both calls to XCreatePixmap (one in allocatePixmaps()
and one in allocateLargePixmaps() as the parameter describing
the depth of the pixmap.
(B/w monitors have depth 1, color monitors usually 3 [red-blue-
green]; so the `1' used as parameter in the copy of texx.c I got
isn't very appropriate:-)
Hope this helps!
(And thanks to Klaus Thull, Berlin, who once gave the hint to look
at this point.)
