Has anyone else had trouble with the SGI (24bit) board? We've got one on a 6000/320, and are seeing *lots* of problems with X (IBM's R3 server and the MIT R4 clients) - red flashes in the windows when redrawing, title bars not redrawing when exposed, etc. There are also problems with it using Motif, though not as many. The normal color cards we have work fine running the same code. The board in question seems to run diagnostics perfectly. The X server is "golden" (i.e. I haven't patched it yet). Do the X clients make differently for this hardware? Thanks. -- Pat Wilson Systems Manager, Project NORTHSTAR paw@northstar.dartmouth.edu

[stuff] If this is the ibm 24-bit color/z-buffer deal, yes I get the same crap (red flashes), it has been this way all along (4-6 months). This was suppose to be reported to ibm by my contact, but I don't know if it got done, I'll have to check on it.
