[Togl-chat] Colormap switching not working on Solaris?

[Ashley W. <as...@dc...>]

Hi...

I'm trying to use Togl to make some OpenGL code that was implemented for
Windows more portable.

I'm using Solaris 8 on an Ultra-1 with a 256 colour framebuffer :(.  I got
Togl from anonymous CVS in the last few days.  Tcl/Tk 8.2 is installed
here currently.

The Togl demos work, but the colours in the OpenGL rendering are not
correct: for example, the tree in texture.tcl for example ends up mainly
grey, with a few dark green pixels.  (Another example from my code: black
-> black, red -> black, green -> light grey, blue -> black, grey -> light
blue).

I'm assuming that when I move the mouse into a Togl window, all the colours
on my display should change, making the Togl window colours correct, but
colours outside of it incorrect (colour map "flashing"), like I see in
other apps.  (togl.c:1903 seems to be implementing this).

However, this colour map switching doesn't occur for me, and so the colours
are wrong (I assume that some part of the system is assigning colours that
are "close" to the desired ones, but they aren't close enough to look
good).

Can anyone give me any clues as to how to debug this?  Helppp!

Ash.
