Hi
Is anyone out there using the xpm-3.4j stuff on their NetBSD/alpha boxes (e.g.
in fvwm or fvwm2). If so, are the images/icons correct, or are they garbled?
In fvwm2, the many of the icons (like xterm.xpm and xv2.xpm) appear to be
garbled. (some of the <columns> of the icons appear to be correct, but the
rest are just "noise"). Other icons (like world.xpm) work just fine.
When I try running sxpm (the little proggy that comes with xpm-3.4j)
I typically get:
X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or
internal Xlib length error)
Major opcode of failed request: 72 (X_PutImage)
Serial number of failed request: 43
Current serial number in output stream: 51
I just compiled up xpaint-2.4.7 last night, and when I try to run that I
get:
X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or
internal Xlib length error)
Major opcode of failed request: 72 (X_PutImage)
Serial number of failed request: 672
Current serial number in output stream: 680
When these applications are run on the alpha, and displayed on a monochrome
Sun3 X display, they work/display just fine :-(
I compiled up libX11.so.6.1 (I think that's the one) last night, and added a
bunch of debugging printf's to it. Everything in the XPutImage and _XSend
routines looked happy enough, but still no go... (I believe it is _XSend()
that has a comment about that routine possibly needing some changes if int <
long)
I'm planning on looking further into this after the weekend, but in the
meantime I figured I'd ask if anyone else has seen this problem...
I'm running NetBSD-current as of March 5th or so (ELF, shared libs, vm fixes,
etc), with the "x11-fixes.tar.gz" X11 shared libraries. The alpha is a
Multia, for as much as that should matter.
Any pointers (including "it works for me -- I don't know what your problem
is") are appreciated....
Thanks
Later...
