I have encountered a problem running "xv" ( a gif viewer ) under openwindows 2.0 ( open-look ). I get the Following X error: BadAccess Request Major code 88 () --> which is X_FreeColors ResourceID 0x120005c.... etc This only occurs after bringing up a couple of the color gif images. Could this be in any way a problem with openwindows2.0 or a more generic problem. -- Jim Ray Harris Semiconductor Internet: jdr@mlb.semi.harris.com PO Box 883 MS 62B-022 Phone: (407) 729-5059 Melbourne, FL 32901

This is a known bug in version 2 where you cannot call XFreeColor() twice on the same colorcell, where X11R4 *requires* you to free each color the number of times that you allocated it. I have a patched version of xv which works around the problem... You more or less want to only free each color once to get around the problem. This is fixed in the next release. (no I can't tell you when it will be available) -Patrick In article <1990Nov6.203004.6062@mlb.semi.harris.com>, jdr@jrx.mlb.semi.harris.com (Jim Ray) writes: |> I have encountered a problem running "xv" ( a gif viewer ) under |> openwindows 2.0 ( open-look ). |> |> I get the Following X error: |> BadAccess |> Request Major code 88 () --> which is X_FreeColors |> ResourceID 0x120005c.... etc |> |> This only occurs after bringing up a couple of the color gif images. |> Could this be in any way a problem with openwindows2.0 or a more |> generic |> problem. |> |> |> -- |> Jim Ray Harris Semiconductor |> Internet: jdr@mlb.semi.harris.com PO Box 883 MS 62B-022 |> Phone: (407) 729-5059 Melbourne, FL 32901 -- ______________________________________________________________________ Patrick J.
