Hi all!
Im using my HP-345 with NetBSD 1.2.1 mainly to
telnet/rlogin into an IBM-machine.
When I login under X11 using 'xhost', I get several problems:
1. When trying to open a document with 'ghostview' or 'xdvi' started
on the remote server, the following error message appears:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of
range for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 91 (X_QueryColors)
Value 0x40
Serial number of failed request: 86
Current serial number in output stream: 86
Error: PostScript interpreter failed in main window.
------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Some programs (e.g. netscape) cause X to flash to other colors
(ugly). Graphics (gifs, jpegs) are displayed using a false
colormap (even more ugly). The colormap-flashing can only be
supressed by forcing netscape to use the standard X11-colormap, which=
results in a heavily reduces number of free color-cells and
a X11-crash when using too many graphic-programs at the same time.
3. Some graphic programms like 'xfig' or 'tgif' started on the
remote host crash X imediatly.
Any idea how to solve these problems? Could there be compatibility-proble=
m
with X11- R5/R6 libraries? Would it be possible to modify the standard
colormap?
Thanks for help
Frank
