With all this talk of 24 bit color of late, I thought I'd restart my
Linux XFree86 X server under 32bpp and play around. Well, to my
surprise, any time IDL attempts to connect to the server, it crashes
with a seg fault. And not for any specific connection either.
help,/DEVICE
crashes it. It just cannot connect. I am using the XFCom_3DLabs
server, which supports a single visual at 32bpp -- TrueColor.
Has anyone else seen this behaviour. I tried removing all possibly
offending statements from my X defaults (Idl.Colors, for instance), but
to no avail. Any ideas?
Thanks,
JD
