Message-ID: Date: 7 Feb 91 01:54:09 GMT References: <15113@smoke.brl.mil> Sender: news@portia.Stanford.EDU (Mr News) Organization: Stanford University Lines: 17 In-Reply-To: moss@brl.mil's message of 6 Feb 91 20:47:00 GMT There are some problems with alignment and drawing 1 bit deep visuals that existed in 3.2 through 3.3.1 X servers. It is possible to partially kludge around the problem by rewriting the Xlib routine you are using. Not pretty. But in an emergency, I did this for XPutImage(). A much better option is to see if SGI can supply a fixed server. SGI was aware of the problem when 3.3.1 came out. We don't have 3.3.2, but a fixed server might have been included. I think we're all looking forward to wonderful things in 4.0. Does anyone know how X fares on the VGX? Is raster op performance better?
