Hi there,
it seems my box has some X-server/Graphicscard problem:
xwd | xwdtopnm > test.pnm
only reproduces the green channel or gives the error message:
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 91 (X_QueryColors)
Value in failed request: 0x401da1b0
Serial number of failed request: 1851
Current serial number in output stream: 1851
xwdtopnm: couldn't read XWD file header
I don't understand this.
Is there anybody having an explanation for this phenomenon?
My graphicscard is named "Diamond Viper V330" and the server/driver (??)
from my SuSE 6.0 distribution seems to be some 16-bit surrogate thing.
I came up with this stuff on the fvwm mailinglist:
