- I am having a problem running an application which used to work fine on a
- Crimson with GR2-Elan graphics.

- One of the things that happens (sometimes... the rest of the time I get
- horrible flashing stuff when trying to draw in the overlay planes) is the
- window manager (and graphics subsystem?) crashes. I get these messages

- Jul 22 13:13:26 max unix: GR2FIFOHandler: TIMEOUT (FIFO still not below low water mark)!
- Jul 22 13:13:26 max unix: MG1WAIT: mg1 status reg:0xFFFF16B8
- Jul 22 13:13:26 max unix:
- Jul 22 13:13:26 max unix: WARNING: Graphics error: GE PC = 0x1E3

- ammount of effort into it myself... so I don't end up being too much
- of a pest!
