Message-ID: Date: 10 Sep 90 20:56:14 GMT Sender: news@cs.columbia.edu (The Daily News) Distribution: comp Organization: Columbia University Computer Science Lines: 14 Using a Turbo SRX, with X11R4 in combined mode, 12/12 planes double buffered, I ran two copies of an animation on the same display. When a process has the input focus, it runs smoothly, but the other flickers, because the double buffering is out of sync. Fortunately, the manual documents this. Unfortunately, it seems to suggest that there is no cure. Does anyone know otherwise? -- ----------------------------------------------- Clifford Beshers 450 Computer Science Department Columbia University New York, NY 10027 beshers@cs.columbia.edu
