[comp.windows.x] SGI 3-1G Xsgi, allocating color cells,...

Francois.Bitz@SAM.CS.CMU.EDU (08/05/89)

We just got Xsgi up and ruunig (3.1G) on a Persoal Iris

I don't seem to be able to allocate any color cell with
XAllocColorCells() even though:

	the Visual Class is PseudoColor
	the number of planes is 8

I remember that the previous version of X for SGI did not support
changing color maps. However I was told that this version did allow
it.
Did I miss something or start the Server wrong???

ALSO (not directly  related to X):
	I had quite a lot of trouble with malloc() (seg. fautls) when 
running my application (linked with libX11 and libbsd). They seemed
to have disapeared when I added libmalloc.a. What is the correct 
libraries to use when I need the BSD extensions.


thanks
