Hi, I am trying to write a program entirely in Xlib ( for performance reasons ), I am borrowing some code from a program that I wrote last year ( which I am pretty sure worked ), but when I run the program, I get the following error from Xlib: X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 62 (X_CopyArea) Serial number of failed request: 73 Current serial number in output stream: 150 Exit 1 How do I track down EXACTLY what is going wrong, it seems that when XCopyArea is called, it returns with an OK status, and its only when the event requests are processed that the message is printed. Any advice would be gladly appreciated! thanks in advance ----------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen Riehm smr@pki-nbg.philips.de not in any way talking on behalf of: Philips Kommunikations Industrie Phone: +49 911 526 2975 8500 Nuremberg, Germany Fax: +49 911 526 2095 I come from the land down under, where women glow and men blunder PS: I know my From: line is wrong, but I don't know WHY!
