Hi netlanders, currently we are evaluating the possibility of using FrameMaker as our major documentation tool. At the moment we have a demo version, FrameMaker for X11, Version 1.3, running on a Sun SparcStation 1. There are several display stations attached to the system and these include X Server for Siemens 9733, DECstation 3100, NCD X-Terminal and PCs running ISC 386/ix with XVGA Server Release 1.1. Unfortunatly, only the XVGA Server is giving us trouble. Since all others work well we suspect that the problem lies in the XVGA Server. The main problem centers on the fact that the XVGA can not handle colors properly. Under certain circumstances, white background is displayed as black background, although the defaults are set properly. This is especially disturbing when one considers that Framemaker only uses black and white. A further problem crops up when either Pull Down Menu or a dialog box is closed. The underling screen is not restored properly, but rather a black rectangle or box remains where the Menu or box was. We tend to rely heavily upon using the PC/386s as X servers, hence it of utmost importance to us to know whether there are solutions available.
