I would like to display RGB images, with, for instance higher values for
the Red component causing redder colors, and higher values of the blue
component making them bluer. I used to be able to do that pretty easily,
using the

tv,image,/true

However, since I've been moved to a Linux workstation, it doesn't work.
I could provide detailed symptoms if you want, but it's obviously a
configuration problem, so maybe the easiest way is to ask how I need to
configure my IDL session to display these things properly. Attached is a
copy of the xdpyinfo output for my system. What device commands should I
use?

Another good idea would be weekly score cards to rate how satisfied you are
with your sysadmin. This could also be filled out after help has been given.

As long as they're allowed the same forum to express their opinions of your questions. It would
give you management an idea of how much more training you might need.

I prefer the egalitarian rather than the elitist approach.

Along with a score card for the sys admin to rate the cluelessness of the
users, and perhaps a prize for the daftest request of the week?
