- If you have AVS 4.0 running on an IBM RS6000 with the GT4x graphics
- accelerator, please DO NOT install ptf 409414 provided in the latest IBM OS,
- AIX 3.2.3 . We recommend that you do not commit the latest ptf's,
- so that if/when AVS appears to break, then you can back off the ptfs.
-
- The symptom you will get if ptf 409414 is installed and you run AVS is:
- X Error of failed request: BadGC (invalid GC parameter)
- Major opcode of failed request: 56 (X_ChangeGC)
- Minor opcode of failed request: 0
- Resource id in failed request: 0xd076d5ec
- Serial number of failed request: 5987
- Current serial number in output stream: 6247
-
- We are also aware of another IBM gl library problem (libgl.a)
- that affects 2 AVS demos: Carib and Lobster Scan. Running these
- demos will lock up the Xserver, forcing a system reboot. Do not run
- these demos if you have AIX 3.2.2 . IBM is looking into this as well.
-
- AVS is working closely with IBM to quickly resolve this.
