I have a problem which I cannot understand with Xdvi pl 16 when displaying to an HP display (running X11R4 from HP (as in HP-UX 8.07) but not VUE.) The problem is the same whether the client is run on an HP or a Sun. The result is that all the bitmap is drawn in white on white instead of various greys, but all works fine if I explitly set the -fg and -bg colours. Experimenting, I find that just setting -bg white does the trick, even though this appears to make no difference. Certainly as far as I can see in init_pix the same colours get chosen and allocated whether I set the option or not, but in one case it works and in the other it fails. Does anyone have any ideas as to what to look for, or possible causes? -- Jon -- Jon Peatfield, Computer Officer, the DAMTP, University of Cambridge Telephone: (+44 223) 3-37852 Mail: J.S.Peatfield@amtp.cam.ac.uk To be consistent with DNS domain ordering, shouldn't news groups have names like "admin.sun.sys.comp" not "comp.sys.sun.admin" ?
