I can't break any of my machines right now to try. I really need to stick to the X11 that came with the distribution at the moment. > Is Xastir being overly aggressive with XPutImage or similar calls? Most likely, but that shouldn't kill the application. We're doing lots of these: XReadBitmapFile() XSetStipple() XSetLineAttributes() XSetForeground() XSetFunction() XFreePixmap() XSetFillStyle() XFillPolygon() XDrawLines() Basically we're drawing polygons using a stipple, often these are county-sized polygons, then drawing a border in a solid color around the polygons. When zoomed out to U.S. or World size, we can end up with a lot of weather alerts showing, and Xastir is very busy at times trying to redraw all of these on a periodic basic (we're drawing other things as well, like symbols and tracks as people move around. I wouldn't expect X11 to kill the app just because the app wants it to do a lot. It seemed that the Cygwin list link that I posted before talked about a similar problem, and they fixed it there. -- Curt, WE7U archer at eskimo dot com Arlington, WA, USA http://www.eskimo.com/~archer "Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math." -- unknown "Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates." -- WE7U "The world DOES revolve around me: I picked the coordinate system!" _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
