We have a problem where with some applications the graphics windows aren't refreshed on the SunRay display. I am running RedHat Linux. I found the following recommended fix for RedHat Linux on the internet: ******************* Problem In X-windows one is opening sessions on other computer and/or is working with programs such as DAMM, gf3 or PAW one expiences a serious problem. If an other window is moved over the window containing the graph, the graph is wiped out. Similar things happen when on minimizes the windows. For REDHAT-LINUX In Redhat Linux some things are done differently to get things right one should first check which display manager one is running. On the NSL machines running Redhat gdm is the default display manager. The changes to make the "backing store" work one has to do the following changes: In the file /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf the following section has to be changed from: [servers]
0=Standard to: 0=Standard +bs ****************** After a reboot the problem still exists. Then I see that patch 124388-01 addresses the issue of "backing store cannot be enabled on linux". I haven't installed the patch yet, and I will, but I need to know if in addition to installing the patch, is modifying gdm.conf enough? Since if I understand correctly, Xnewt is spawned from gdm. Or is there some other file where Xnewt is executed where I need to give Xnewt the "enable backing store" option? Thanks, Suzanna .
