Hi,

I've just received my new MacBook Pro with retina display and high resolution monitor. I've installed AIPS under the new Yosemite, and everything goes well, but I cannot get my TV to work. With my 2010 MacBook it would not open on the monitor, but it worked fine on the laptop screen. I would start AIPS with the laptop open until all windows appeard, and closing the screen would then pop-up everything on my monitor. This work around fails now. Is this an issue with the screen resolution, or is it more likely that the MacOS Yosemite gives problems?

I verified that the system is 24 bits, which seems to be the case. From xdpyinfo I get:
  default visual id:  0x22
  visual:
    visual id:    0x22
    class:    TrueColor
    depth:    24 planes

I also adjusted the sysctl.conf and services files according to the website:
kern.sysv.shmmax=10485760
kern.sysv.shmmin=1
kern.sysv.shmmni=32
kern.sysv.shmseg=8
kern.sysv.shmall=4096

When I launch AIPS, the TeKserver and message server pop up, and I get the following messages:
> aips tv=local

Please let me know if there is a fix for this, or if you need additional information from me to diagnose the problem.
