[comp.windows.x] xwd -xy hoses server on IBM RT under AOS

ehrlich@cs.psu.edu (Daniel Ehrlich) (10/11/89)

Set up is as follows:

	IBM RT 6152 running AOS 4.3 September 1988 Release
	    8514 Display and adapter with extended memory

	X11 R3 from MIT with latest IBM server fixes

Someone recently tried to use xdpr to dump a window to one of our
LaserWriters.  This resulted in 'xpr: image is not in XY format'.  So
we tried the following:

	% xwd -out foo.xwd -xy

After picking the window in question the sever freezes and will no
longer accept any requests.  Xwd only beeps once.  You never get the
double beep when it has finished.  To get things going again requires
killing off the Xibm server process and restarting everything.

Has anyone successfully used xdpr/xwd/xpr on an IBM RT 6152 under AOS
4.3?  Are there some patches I should know about?  If you need more
info drop me an e-mail message.  Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
