I have a number of applications now that work pretty well on my sun and make use of XCopyPlane() to copy a simple 1 bit Pixmap to a window. However, when I try to run them on a VS3100 running Xqdss (a 4 bit deep display), they don't work. It appears that the XCopyPlane() is a complete no-op. It changes neither the foreground nor the background pixels in the destination window. Oh, if instead of making my source Pixmaps 1bit, but instead build them in in 4bit "color" and use XCopyArea(), it works fine. Does anyone have a fix for this? It's a real pain that X can't do bitmaps. dave cohrs -- Dave Cohrs +1 608 262-6617 UW-Madison Computer Sciences Department dave@cs.wisc.edu ...!{harvard,rutgers,ucbvax}!uwvax!dave

It's a real pain that X can't do bitmaps. "X" can, it's the just broken QDSS sample server implementation than can't. This is just one of the many ways that the QDSS code is broken. We have no resources to fix this, and Digital hasn't had the resources either. The best I can suggest right now is that, if you run Ultrix, you try the Digital product server to see if it meets your needs.
