| Dear Alan,
|
| Sorry for troubling you again, but....
|
| I re-configured with --enable-dyndrivers and everything now compiled
| okay. However, trying to use the xwin driver gives the following
| error:
|
| Enter device number or keyword: 1
| X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
|   Major opcode of failed request:  1 (X_CreateWindow)

This is strange, could it be conflicting  X11 versions? The man page=20
says that everything is OK with the Xcreatewindow call, but some=20
parameters values are not supported...

|   Serial number of failed request:  10
|   Current serial number in output stream:  14
|
| In version 5.1.0 I'd fixed this problem by following Paul Casteels
| advice and adding
|
| #define USE_DEFAULT_VISUAL 1
|
| also for Linux systems rather than just for SunOS in the
| configuration script.  However, in 5.2.0 I notice that this isn't
| even set for SunOS, and setting it in this case didn't help either.
|
| Can you suggest a fix for the new release with SuSE 8.1?

I have no such problems with SuSE-8.1... either at the office or at=20
home...

-Are you using a standard demo, such as x01c?
-Have you installed plplot before running any demo?
-Is any possibility that a conflict with a previouly installed plplot=20
version exists?
-Are you working on a X terminal or in the PC console (under X=20
obviously)?
-How many colors does your X server supports (use xdpyinfo and look for:
    default visual id:  0x21 <------
       visual:
       visual id:    0x21 <-------
       class:    TrueColor
       depth:    16 planes <-----------

I have no more hints for you, but please check the above, as a last=20
resort, and keep us informed.

Thanks,
Joao
