Hi Karsten,

I have the same version of X11 that you show. My default was set to
"Req from Server". I changed to "Pixmap" with DEVICE, RETAIN = 2. Then
I tried the following...

IDL> help, /dev
Available Graphics Devices: CGM HP LJ NULL PCL PRINTER PS REGIS TEK X Z
Current graphics device: X
% idl.retain X11 resource was used by older versions of IDL to set default
backing store method for graphics windows, but is ignored by this
version.
It is present and has a value of Server which does not agree with the
value of the IDL_GR_X_RETAIN preference (IDLPixmap). Set the
IDL_GR_X_RETAIN preference to Server if you wish to use this value. Set
the IDL_PREF_OBSOLETE_WARN preference to False if you wish to disable
these warning messages in the future.
Bus error

OK! So I did PREF_SET, "IDL_GR_X_RETAIN", 2, /COMMIT

Then HELP, /DEVICE .... but I got the same message as above.

Nuts,
Ben
