I haven't been following this group too much (until now....), so
please excuse me if this an old problem. I can't find anything
about it in the FAQ(s) (unless I missed the one I'm looking for).
Here it goes...:
I recently got IDL 5.1 on my SUN ULTRA 10 running Solaris 2.6. When
I start IDL and try to open a window IDL hangs on a "X windows protocol
error". Here is what happens if I just start IDL and do a 'help,/device':
IDL> help,/device
Available graphics_devices: CGM HP LJ NULL PCL PRINTER PS REGIS TEK X Z

IDL>
Changing the visual doesn't seem to help (or I'm not setting it to
the right thing, but even SaticGray etc doesn't work). I have included
the output from 'xdpyinfo' below, sorry for the # of lines.
Same thing happens under both CDE and fvwm window managers ('case
that has anything to do with it). Funny thing is(?) that my old
IDL version (3.5.1) has no problem at all on the same screen.
All help, pointers greatly appreciated!
