Hello I am running RedHat
8.0 as a guest operating system on a Windows 2000 host using Vmware 3.2.0. I am
using the Vmware driver – I could not find the driver’s
version number but I am running it under Xfree86 4.2.0. I am running some application on remote
hosts which send X11 graphics to my screen. A blank
window opens up, but I don’t actually see any graphics until the
screen is refreshed, typically by making a second plot in the window. I
think what is happening is that these application do
not tell my X server
to flush its buffer at the right time. I think what I need to do is get my
server to display graphics commands without buffering. I realize that is inefficient but I don’t have access
to the source codes for these
programs, so I can’t fix them. Can
anyone please tell me, is there any way I can run my server to display X11
graphics synchronously – i.e., no buffering? (I did not see anything under the Xserver man
page). Thanks, - Phil Cummins |
