Hello, we are having a problem with XAS of version 15APR99 on our
newer 24-bit display Suns. Namely, it fails with the error message:
XAS: ** TrueColor FOUND!!!
XAS: Visual not = default, create 24-bit colormap
XAS: Using screen width height 1270 924, max grey level 255
XAS: *** Using shared memory option for speed ***
Shared memory id failure: Invalid argument
whereas pseudocolor works fine on older 8-bit displays (running the
same version of SunOS--5.6 and 5.7).
Since 'XAS' is a binary, I am not sure what it is trying to do with
shared memory, colormaps, and such. Could you let us know if there
is a workaround to get the TVserver to run correctly? Thanks.
