I've been a LyX user for a bout 5 years now, and am having trouble with one particular machine that I cannot figure out. I've run the -dbg switches, and nothing obvious pops out. It may be [is likely] a problem with one of the underlying programs, not necessarily LyX itself, but if anyone has seen this before, maybe they can help.
System: FreeBSD 4.11, old Compaq server [Intel PII 300, SCSI RAID] This is an Xclient only. Serves up LyX [among other things] to various workstations running either cygwin or FreeBSD. When LyX starts up, everything looks normal *except* the border area [not the page area, which looks ok] where the scroll bars, tool bar etc. are. The background here is *all black*, and only the toolbar icons can be seen. When hitting <meta-F> the menu bar pops up, but is all black. This is the same output whether viewing it on a cygwin workstation or a real FreeBSD workstation. Window managers typically in use are WindowMaker and Ion. Any thoughts? -- 72, Jim
