Dear all,

I use my Mandrake 8.0 box for Image Processing applications and when I
obscure a window the image disappears! According to the instruction
manual I need to enable the backing-store.

These are the instructions: In file /use/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers I need to
append '+bs' to the line starting ':0 local /usr/X11...'. So I now have:

# $XConsortium: Xserv.ws.cpp,v 1.3 93/09/28 14:30:30 gildea Exp $
#
#
# $XFree86: xc/programs/xdm/config/Xserv.ws.cpp,v 1.1.1.1.12.2

# Xservers file, workstation prototype
#
# This file should contain an entry to start the server on the
# local display; if you have more than one display (not screen),
# you can add entries to the list (one per line).  If you also
# have some X terminals connected which do not support XDMCP,
# you can add them here as well.  Each X terminal line should
# look like:
# XTerminalName:0 foreign
#
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X +bs -deferglyphs 16

Unfortunately, this does not seem to work! The images are still
obscured. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to enable save-unders as well?

Any help would be appreciated.

Andy
