- Is seems as though the color map is messed up on our Personal Iris (uname =
- IRIX Obelix 4.0.2 02211459 IP12). It was OK but something has changed. The
- winterms now come up a kind of sickley green instead of the deep blue they
- were previously. Even colours I am drawing in RGB mode in a GL program have
- changed -- which I dont understand because I thought RGB mode bypassed the
- colour map (well in IRIX 3.3.x anyway).
-
- Can someone tell me where to start looking for the cause of this? I suspect a
- configuration file has been changed (others were), possibly copied over from a
- 4.0.4 system. The file /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers contains the following
- line...
-
- :0 secure /usr/bin/X11/X -bs -c -pseudomap 4sight
-
- and I was wondering if the "4sight" should be "gl" but I must admit that this
- is just a wild stab in the dark.
