- I have some more piece of bad news:
-
- I saw the same problem with wavefront personal visualizer
- "FATAL. Window could not be opened." ---> PLONK dead...
-
- An in-house code of ours that combine X/motif/Gl also got some
- unexpected artifacts (like that the displayed GLimage is all black)
- with 4.0.5
-
- I downgraded the system bac to 4.0.1 last night..
-
- By the way, Wavefront tells me that there is a 4.0.5 version out during
- the next 2-3 weeks.
-
- So there it goes, upgrades and downgrades keep the ppl busy...
