I am having a problem with colors on a Sun 3/160 and X version 10
release 4 and would like to know if anyone has a fix for it.
The problem is that under some conditions both foreground and
background portions of text are plotted incorrectly. Sometimes they are
reversed and sometimes they are both plotted in the same color, rendering
the text invisible. There is some dependence on the colors set up in
my .Xdefaults, and on how many xterms I have running. One place the problem
shows up consistently is xtrek. If I have only one xterm window and I start
xtrek, text in the "federation" window will be drawn with both foreground and
background in yellow. Likewise text for text for the "klingon" window will be
drawn in all green. Text in the other windows will be okay. If I have
two xterms running and I start xtrek, the background and foreground colors are
reversed and the autologout clock is plotted in all background (dark blue).
To complicate matters if I change the colors of xterm or xtrek in .Xdefaults
I get a whole new combination of which areas of text show the problem.
Our system: Sun 3/160c with cgtwo0 color display, graphics processor and
buffer, FPA, 4M RAM, SunOS 3.2, XV10R4
Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
