Thanks Dave,
This morning it worked with just the normal :0
I had tried the xhost + only as well yesterday.
Could it have been a hostname resolving problem as I assigned the Linux
Sparc box an IP addr and hostname from another machine which I have had
disconnected from the network. If the IP add<->name tables on our name
server still had old values in them would that have been the problem?
Anyhow I can now get the program (texsan is a molecular modelling
program) displaying on the Linux Sparc but running on the SGI but I get
"Cannot allocate color map entry for default background".
This is a real prob as the bonding lines between atoms don't show on the
screen. Where the background is a grey on the SGI its a deep blue on the
Sparc.
There are no command line options for the texsan program to tell it to
use say 16 colours only.
Note that I get a similar error with the nedit editor. It gives me the
hex value of the colour that it was unable to assign.
Any ideas on what I can do to get the colours?
Mike
