I'd like to help you, but you need to follow the instructions for
reporting problems with xboard.  See the READ_ME file, the man page,
or the FAQ file in the xboard distribution.  The FAQ is also posted
here monthly and can be found on my Web page.

I can't tell what the problem or solution might be without the name of
your machine and operating system (from "uname -a") and a typescript
of the output from "xboard -debug".  Use the script program to make a
typescript; type "man script" for instructions.
