- I was going to ask about this in a previous post, but it slipped my mind:
-
- I downloaded the binary for xv version 2.21 for use under SLS 98pl5. The
- program runs, but it fails to display images correctly. It seems as though the
- image is divided into vertical columns and the columns are out of order.
- The only images I've tried loading so far are GIFs and they all come out the
- same way. I do believe this to be a problem with the way it displays images,
- not in the way it reads them, for the following reason: when xv is invoked
- without any arguments, it displays an image of what seems to be an XV logo,
- and this image is distorted as well.
-
- I'm trying to run it under X386 1.1 (from SLS 98pl5) using the *MONOCHROME*
- server. My system is a 386SX (16Mhz) with 4 meg RAM. X seems to work fine
- otherwise. Does anyone have any idea what's wrong with xv? I have the compiler
- installed, so if it's just a matter of re-compiling, someone please let
- me know.
