Hi all
I've installed x11 on my machine and I'm using it to run IDL remotely
on a sun. I run into an interesting problem: to display images, IDL
connects to the XWindow server of apple x11 but apparently none of the
configurations that IDL expects are accepted by the server.
Indeed the visual depth is extremely strange (at 15 bits) where the
values normally encountered are typically 8 bits (for pseudo-color
display) and 24 bits (for true color display).
I did not have this problem with XDarwin which was by default a 24
bits display.
The net result is that you cannot view images with IDL...
Anyone experiencing the same problem?
This is not a solution, only a data point:
I am running IDL locally on my TiBook, using Apple's X11. I do not
have these problems. When I start
IDLDE, and enter help,/display, I get:
Current graphics device: X
Server: X11.0, The XFree86 Project, Inc, Release 40201000
Display Depth, Size: 24 bits, (1280,854)
Visual Class: TrueColor (4)
Bits Per RGB: 8 (8/8/8)
Physical Color Map Entries (Emulated / Actual): 256 / 256
Colormap: Shared, 16777216 colors. Translation table: Bypassed
Graphics pixels: Combined, Dither Method: Ordered
Write Mask: 16777215 (decimal) ffffff (hex)
Graphics Function: 3 (copy)
Current Font: <default>, Current TrueType Font: <default>

In my startup.pro I have (for historical reasons)
window,colors=256,/pixmap
device,decomposed=0
I have not read in any .Xresources nor used .xinitrc
