I am working on a pv-wave 7.0 application in a Solaris 2.7 environment.
Everything was working OK until the powers-that-be decided to switch
the workstations fro 8-bit to 24-bit color, and then all my windows came
up blank. After much grief, I worked around that by bypassing the old
translation table and hard coding pixel values for each color (ie.
0x00ff00), which was not a big deal since my app only plans on using 12
colors, but since then, I've been getting reports of very unusual
behaviour. I've heard of my pv-wave app bleeding through other
applications, plot data appearing outside of the window, and other
oddities that can't be explained through my code. I did find some notes
that mentioned problems with older Sun graphics cards in Solaris 2.6 and
pv-wave 24-bit displays, but I have no idea if that is still a problem
with 2.7, or if this is what was meant. I am looking to get my employer
to upgrade the version of pv-wave, but at this point in the project I am
skeptical. Any advice?
