I recently tried to run Smalltalk v4 from ParcPlace on a Macintosh IIfx with Apples 8-24GC graphics accelerator card. All Smalltalk windows were black and there was a continuous stream of unhandled exception windows. The identical image, interpreter, and system works fine on a Mac II. I find it hard to believe that ST v4 does not run on an Mac IIfx. Does anyone know of any problems running ST v4 on either a Mac IIfx or the 8-24GC graphics accelerator card? roger whitney whitney@sdsu.edu

I run ST R.4 on a IIfx with a Rasterops monitor and card with no problems, perhaps it is the apple 8-24GC card. ski2@u.washington.edu -- Chris 'ski' Kacoroski "When we try to pick out anything by itself 8911 Linden Ave N we find it connected to the entire universe" Seattle, WA 98103 John Muir

I came across the same problem while arguing with Wilf about colour in PP 4.0 on a Mac IIci with the same graphics card. The solution is to go to the control panel and select the monitor resolution you want (even if it is already selected) before running PP4. Back to the original problem: has anyone been able to get 24 bit images to work? I forget the exact class name but we were unsuccessful in getting something that was 24 bits deep. Even trying to get something from the clipboard didn't work (sure, you could display the image using the Mac graphics handle but you couldn't get the actual bits into a Smalltalk object). - Alex
