Graphics problem on Sun Ultra2 workstation [message #35865]

Hi there!

I've been away from this group for some time.. too many thing to do,
too less time.

I am having trouble with our two new (well, some years ago they were
new) SUN Ultra2 workstations and IDL (5.2). Whan I start IDL, and
enter the WINDOW command, a white window appears. If I move the mouse
cursor into the window, I get the correct black color, but my desktop
colors switch, too.

I know this from other SUNs, but it never was a real problem, as
switching to pseudo color mode (DEVICE, PSEUDO=8) or setting DEVICE,
DECOMPOSED=0 solved it.

This does not work with the new SUNs. All I can do is a device,
true_color, this prevents the color flickering. But I have tons of
programs using pseudo color mode that I don't want to change to true-
color mode.

Any ideas? I'm sorry that I don't know much about the graphics card,
only that it's a Creator model, that's what the logo on the front
panel says. We have other SUNs (Ultra-1), with Creator 3d cards, and
they work well. I don't think there is an easy solution, but I thought
I'd give the group here a try.

TIA,

Alex
