| Help!
| We are trying to use LyX with VNC. It works on some systems all the
| time. It fails on others - all the time.
| The error message is:
| In flvisual.c[217]: Can't find an appropriate visual
|
| Running the command: lyx -debug 65535 on both the good and bad
| systems
What about "lyx -dbg 65535" or "lyx -best"?
| produces no obvious clues. Both report None as the value of most
| resource properties. On the "good" VNCs lyx then seems to locate
| a default PseudoColor 8 setup and builds a colour map. On the "bad"
| VNCs it fails with the above message.
|
| On the "bad" VNC systems, the xdpyinfo command reports (among a lot
| of other stuff)
| visual:
| visual id: 0x22
| class: TrueColor
| depth: 8 planes
TrueColor and 8 planes seems a bit weird...
| Any clues? I've searched the documentation and with some help from
| Kayvan have used the debug option to garner some info. What can I
| try next?
man xforms is an option.
but try the "-best" suggestion first...it is also possible that XForms
has a real problem with "TrueColor 8 planes"...
