We have several problems running X11R2 on Sun color workstations. 1) A grey title bar sometimes comes out wobbly (the lines drawn are not straight, but as if the pen of the person drawing it was anxious...) 2) also in the title bar, drawing boxes sometimes come out ------------- | | | | | | | | _____________ <- note that they don't line up. This happens on Sun386, Sun3's all color. Apparently monochrome displays don't have this problem. Any ideas? --jsol

There is a bug somewhere in the cfb code and if you try to use a pixmap as a tile, it offsets strange (if you use awm with the Mac-like lines hilighting the title, you will sometimes see the lines go up in peaks). I've given the code a fairly brief once over and couldn't find the problem. I REALLY hope its fixed in R3 (since using tiling would be nice). --jsol -- +*************************************************************************+ * Dana Chee (201) 829-4488 * * Bellcore * * Room 2Q-250 * * 445 South Street ARPA: dana@bellcore.com * * Morristown, NJ 07960-1910 UUCP: {gateways}!bellcore!dana * +*************************************************************************+

The tiling code is unsubtly wrong and although it's not particularly difficult to fix, it requires a lot of mental bit-juggling to get everything right. The fix makes the non-blanking screen-saver work, too. If you would like the patches, mail me. I'll post them if demand warrants. -- Dignity of the individual? No; he doubted that he believed in it.
