System: Sun 3/60 cgfour in colour mode Software: X11R2, vanilla cfb code Is there a patch for the background tiling bugs in the cfb code? The bugs are:- total lack of ability to deal with weird width tiles (woman) strange effects when running the X logo screensaver, looks like a synch problem, but can cause a crash. TWM's control gadgets are corrupted I've looked through the code that bashes background tiles in cfb, especially the cfbXRotatePixmap stuff which seems to be the obvious culprit. The code tries to keep a pre-synchronised copy of the pixmap ready, but I get the feeling that some parts of the code don't really agree about this! Strange pixmaps won't tile because cfbUnnaturalTileFS is broken, and this is not too hard to fix. But I can't find a set of hacks that make all the applications behave normally. Any ideas? -- "SCCS - the source code motel! Programs check in and never check out!" -- Ken Thompson -- Steve Hunt -- daffy@warwick.UUCP --

The bugs in this part of the code are many. We have fixed these and many other problems and added performance enhancments to the colour Sun server. We are selling Sun binaries for the X System that include these fixes. The price is #299 (pounds) including hardcopy manuals.
