I am having trouble running ozone and netrek on a Nextstation with X. I am telneted/xhosted to a pmax. Now, when I run netrek I get the the following: berwyn.andrew.cmu.edu> netrek -h bronco.ece.cmu.edu If the default netrek server is full : netrek -h u.ergo.cs.cmu.edu netrek -h auk.warp.cs.cmu.edu Other external servers : netrek -h armstrong.cs.buffalo.edu netrek -p 592 -h sequent.berkeley.edu X Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied ) Major opcode of failed request: 89 (X_StoreColors) Minor opcode of failed request: 0 Resource id in failed request: 0x0 Serial number of failed request: 48 Current serial number in output stream: 53 berwyn.andrew.cmu.edu> Other games like cbzone or xmahjongg works fine. Someone told me it has to do with next's 2-bit plane verse's pmax's 1 bit. How, can I get around this problem? Jim

Programs tend to assume that any server they speak to is either 8-bit PseudoColor or 1-bit StaticGray (ie, a "traditional color" or a "traditional monochrome") server. The NeXT is 2-bit StaticGray, which confuses some programs. I have seen code that assumes that anything deeper than 1 bit is color. It seems something like this afflicts netrek as well. We had this problem locally with xtank. > How, can I get around this problem? Fix the program. Not much else to be done, unless perhaps you want to insert a protocol filter to make the NeXT appear to be a 1-bit server. You could, I suppose, run the MIT X-in-a-NextStep-window R3-based server, which is a 1-bit StaticGray server. der Mouse old: mcgill-vision!mouse new: mouse@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu
