Hello,
I am attempting to use an idl interface on a remote machine running
Solaris via ssh. The interface comes up, but strangely, I have to use
force ssh to use protocol 1 for them not to die immediately, and beyond
that, the graphic displays that are used show the data i am attempting
to display in strange colors, and they also display in double, so that
every data point is presented twice. Other programs work fine - e.g. I
can get a remote xterm (among other programs) to appear and work, so it
appears to be just an idl problem.
The X11 forwarding worked for this idl problem when I was using
OroborosX (although I still had to force ssh to use protocol 1), so I'm
curious as to what would make it fail when working with Apples X11. I'm
still a newbie with respect to this kind of thing, so I have several
questions. Is Apple's version of X11 handling the color tables in a
very different way than OroborosX is? Why do I have to force ssh to use
protocol 1? Is this a problem specific to idl, or is it something more
basic? Is there anything I can do about it, or is it a bug that will be
fixed in later versions of X11 - in searching the web, I saw a comment
on the web-site that they recommended sticking with Beta V 0.21,
because the pseudo-color 8-bit implementation in V0.3 creates problems.
Am I seeing the results of this?
Any information as to why I am getting this problem, and any
suggestions as to how to fix it would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jeremy
