[comp.windows.x] Previewing tex with inserted postscript

menges@menges.cs.unc.edu (John Menges) (07/15/89)

Can anyone tell me how to preview, in an X window (Sun 3/60, 3.5 if
that matters) a document written in LaTeX with inserted postscript
figures (using psfig/dvitps) (created with idraw)?  I can preview my
paper with xdvi (sans figures) and can preview my drawings (using
idraw or xps) but can't preview the figures in the document.  Xdvi
can't interpret inserted postscript, and xps doesn't seem to work with
postscript files genereated from LaTeX (I get the following error from
even the simplest tex-formatted file):

X Protocol error:  BadValue, integer parameter out of range for operation
  Major opcode of failed request:  53 (X_CreatePixmap)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  0
  Resource id in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  93
  Current serial number in output stream:  129
