X Windows Visual Error [message #22050] Mon, 16 October 2000 00:00 Go to next message

I run 5.3 IDL on an SGI Indigo, but connect via telnet
to my Linux box.

I added a plot command:

plot, state[0,*], state[1,*], PSym = -4

Instead of a nice plot window popping up on my Linux box,
I saw the annoying result:

% Unsupported X Windows visual (class: StaticGray, depth: 0).
Substituting default (class: <UndefinedVisual>, Depth: 0).

What settings do I need to see the plot?

Oh boy... what type of machine is "the remote machine"? How are you
connecting to it?

Do you have a X-server like cygwin running on YOUR machine (not your
remote machine)? Otherwise there's no x-server you can export your
display to...

Regards,
Ingo
