Elan graphics do support 24-bit color. Use xdpyinfo for a list of supported
visuals. By default, the root visual is 8-bit PseudoColor. You can change this
by editing /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers as root. For example, 

:0 secure /usr/bin/X11/X -bs -c -class TrueColor -depth 24

changes the default visual to 24-bit TrueColor. See man Xs for the options for
Xsgi, and any good X reference for a description of visuals.

Having the default visual be 8-bit PseudoColor does not prevent you from 
running 24-bit TrueColor applications. It's just that an application has to
request a 24-bit TC visual explicitly to get one.

bru works fine (better!) if /etc/brutab is not used, or if everything
therein is commented out.  In particular, the size field should always
be absent, or set to 0.  I don't remember seeing that article, so I
won't comment further on it.

In general, I would strongly recommend that people not use bru, since
it isn't very portable, and uses more tape.  The fact that our own system
backup and recovery mechanism uses bru does not change my recommendation.

Subject: More Strangeness with 4.0.5 FM
Organization: Centre for Landscape Research, University of Toronto
Date: 21 Nov 92 20:39:13 GMT

No, 4.0.5 FM is NOT a new system release, it just means
4.0.5(a-f) FM (Font Manager).

I, as many other people, got hit by the fmfreefont behaviour
of 4.0.5 and the new Font Manager.  I am also now experiencing
some other strangeness when it comes to rotating text.  This
code works under IRIX 3.3.2-4.0.4 but dies if the text is
rotated!

Can anyone see the problem?  I seem to be stumped by this.

DrawTextWindow(PELEMENT *e) {
    int x1, y1, x2, y2;
    int width;
    double m[3][2];
    fmfonthandle f,fsized;

    x1 = e->x1;
    y1 = e->y1;
    x2 = e->x2;
    y2 = e->y2;

    if(x1 < 0) x1 = 0; if(y1 < 0) y1 = 0;
    if(x2 > machine.maxX)   x2 = machine.maxX;
    if(y2 > machine.maxY+1) y2 = machine.maxY+1;

    cpack(cardtitle[e->index].col);
    if (editmode)   recti(x1,y1,x2,y2);

    f = fmfindfont(fntname[cardtitle[e->index].font]);
    fsized = fmscalefont(f,cardtitle[e->index].size);
    if(cardtitle[e->index].rot != 0.0) {
        fmgetpagematrix(m);
        fmrotatepagematrix((double)cardtitle[e->index].rot);
    }
    fmsetfont(fsized);
    if(cardtitle[e->index].align == 1) {
        width = fmgetstrwidth(fsized,cardtitle[e->index].string);
        cmov2i((machine.maxX-width)/2,y1);
    } else {
        cmov2i(x1,y1);
    }
    fmprstr(cardtitle[e->index].string);
    if(cardtitle[e->index].rot != 0.0) {
        fmsetpagematrix(m);
    }
    fmfreefont(fsized);
    fmfreefont(f);

}

It dies on the fmptrstr.  I know the string and index are valid.

Please no flames about my fmfindfonts and fmfreefonts, as that
is how the code currently works (designed before 4.0.5 FMisms).

If anyone sees the problem, please let me know.

I've received the answer.
It seems that it was posted on comp.sys.sgi earlier but
anyway I got this message:

THE BUG
	Any XView application run under IRIX 4.0.5 Xsgi X11-server
	will lock the Server on first mouse click and no more release
	it until killed from somewhere else.

Subject: GL subwindows
Keywords: GL subwindow subwindows
Date: 20 Nov 92 03:44:43 GMT
Organization: Hughes Transportation Simulation Center; HAC; Culver City, CA

I was thinking of using GL subwindows.  What are their advantages and
disadvantages?  (E.g., lower performance due to overhead?)

I need to write an application that divides up the entire screen into
different regions and does different graphics in each region.

I could:
	- write one program that internally keeps track of correct
	translation before calling each region update routine (not
	worried about clipping);

	- write one program that uses subwindows and change subwindow
	before calling each region update routine;

	- write a separate program for each region, but that seems like
	it might be wasting resources since they'll all be sharing the
	same data source (either a file or shared memory), just using
	different parts of it.

So, what are the advantages and disadvantages of using GL subwindows?

Is there any sample code around (besides the one page in the Graphics
LIbrary Windowing and Font Library Programming Guide)?  I couldn't find
any in ~4Dgifts.  Have there been any Iris Universe articles on
subwindows?

Thanks for any help.

You're correct; the Elan does support 24 bit color.

> ...Why is it then that the default color visual is 8 bit?

A large number of programs written for the X Window System assume that
the default visual is 8-bit pseudocolor.  Making this the default for
Elan minimized hassle for most users.

> Is it possible to switch between 8 bit and 24 bit color like on the

You can make a truecolor visual the default by supplying the proper
options (try "-class TrueColor -depth 24") on the command line that
invokes the X server.  I believe the usual place to do this is in the
file /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers.  See "man xdm" for more information on
this file, and "man Xsgi" for more information on server options.

On Elan hardware, windows of many visual types may be active on the
screen at the same time without colormap flashing.  You won't need
full-screen depth-switching as found on the Macintosh.  Your main
concern will be choosing a default Visual that best meets the needs of
any ill-behaved applications (those that don't examine the list of
supported Visuals before creating windows) that you need to run.

Keywords: database, Forms

I recently created a simple database package which I named Easybase that makes
it very simple to maintain lists of references, titles, addresses, etc. Even
though simple it has good selecting, sorting and printing capabilities. The
user interface was designed with the Forms Library and the program should be
extremely easy to use.

It is Public Domain. No warrantee for correctness etc. is given. It comes
with source. Compiling it requires version 2.1 of the Forms Library but a
binary version is included for those that do not have the Forms Library. It
can be found in our archive at ftp.cs.ruu.nl in the directory SGI in the file
easybase.tar.Z.

I hope the package will be useful to some people. (I use it quite a lot
myself.)

I have two new Indigoers.  I'd like to get a copy of the tank game
battle zone (as seen at the developers forum) any ideas where it might
be found?

Thanks

I had a brand-new Indigo R4000 installed on Nov. 5th. The machine came
up ok, running Irix 4.0.5(f). Since then, it has been crashing
consistently once about every day, producing a different PANIC message
every time. Some of the PANICs were because of kernel faults, others
because of pagedeque faults, etc, etc. The SYSLOG shows some
suspicious events such as:

	Nov 10 21:38:44 eos unix: sv1LoadMap: bad sv1AddWork
	Nov 10 21:38:45 eos last message repeated 34 times
	Nov 10 21:41:32 eos unix: sv1LoadMap: bad sv1AddWork
	Nov 10 21:41:32 eos last message repeated 24 times
	Nov 10 22:31:19 eos syslogd: restart

hinv returns the following information:

	1 50 MHZ IP20 Processor
	FPU: MIPS R4010 Floating Point Chip Revision: 0.0
	CPU: MIPS R4000 Processor Chip Revision: 2.2
	On-board serial ports: 2
	Data cache size: 8 Kbytes
	Instruction cache size: 8 Kbytes
	Secondary unified instruction/data cache size: 1 Mbyte
	Main memory size: 32 Mbytes
	Integral Ethernet: ec0, version 1
	Disk drive: unit 1 on SCSI controller 0
	Integral SCSI controller 0: Version WD33C93B, revision C
	Iris Audio Processor: revision 10
	Graphics board: LG1
	IndigoVideo board: unit 0, revision 3

The SCSI disk I use is a high-speed one from Micropolis:

	Scsi drive type == MICROP  1908-15MZ1078401PR35

Our local SGI people replaced the CPU board and the memory, to no
avail.

If you have had similar problems with an (R4000-based) Indigo, please
help!

Many thanks,
