Hi, I get the digest and am composing this on the web, so sorry to not include previous posts. I see from the digest that one sets the X server via a link /etc/X11/X. Thats interesting. When I looked at the documention (I forget whether it was man or info) I learned you set the X server using .xserverrc. So which is it? How do these two ways resolve differences? I want to test going back to the ver 3.3.6 server in order to try to figure out what broke my application going from RH 7.1 to 7.3. The application uses an old xview3.2 port from years ago. It is probably beyond my capabilities to recompile this, but I did recompile my application, which didn't change anything. What other differences (besides xserver) could affect my application? The x libraries? But then shouldn't the old binary of my application have worked, or are the libraries loaded at run time? Please forgive my ignorance. My application needs an 8 bit display. It acts as if all the colors have been allocated already and so it can't get the color map it is requesting. This happens even when I use twm as the window manager and have no other applications running. Another problem is that the canvas does not refresh correctly when scrolled. So perhaps it has something to do with the X libraries. Perhaps some new rewrite broke the backward compatibility. Is there any way I can make use of old libraries without having to revert to RH 7.1? Anyone know of new ports of xview?
