Since a few weeks, something strange happens when I use xdvi (Sun4 X11R5
binary) to view my .dvi files on our RS/6000 (we have not ported xdvi to
our RS/6000, that's why we use the Sun4 version). I think this problem is
eitehr caused by the upgrade from X11R4 to X11R5, or by the upgrade of
xdvi to patchlevel 15. Anyway, xdvi has been built on July 13 1992.

The problem is this:
All character are shown in reverse video. Its not the -rv option, since
the paper itself is white, as it should be. The characters are drawn as
a white symbol on a small black square.
However, everything's okay on a zoomed or 'Shrink 1' piece of text.
And of course, no problems at all if I display on a Sun4...
And even more funny: 
'xdvi -fg red' Gives me a black-and-white image, but the above problem
has gone. The characters turn red if I zoom or Shrink1.
'xdvi -fg white' Results in a Segmentation fault.
'xdvi -fg black' Gives the reverse video characters.
'xdvi -fg gray10' Gives me outline (!) characters (which they shouldn't be).

So, Sun4 X11R5 xdvi patchlevel 15 gives nothing but trouble when
displayed on an X11R3 RS/6000 model 730.

Does anybody know what is going on here?

Marcel.
