[Plplot-devel] X problems on SuSe 8.1

[Alan W. I. <ir...@be...>]

Joao, can you verify this X problem that was reported to me privately for
SuSe 8.1?

This problem has popped up before on a few platforms, but I have forgotten
what we did for a fix.

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)
  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?

Regards,

Simon
