Regarding the problems I have flagged in [1], the first (related to the
option +bs of XWin, i.e. the backing store) is still there, also with
the recent xorg-server-1.5.3-4.
I'm a little bit confused what problems remain, so I'll tell you my results
and you can tell me if you agree
hsimple.C test
1.5.3-3 +bs server segfault
1.5.3-4 +bs ok (redrawing of area under menus is messed up)
1.5.3-4 ok
geom/shapes.C test
1.5.3-3 +bs root segfault
1.5.3-4 +bs root segfault
1.5.3-4 root segfault
fixed by adding XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS
For the second (that related to OpenGL applications), I have found the
workaround described here [2].
Now, if
nedit needs rebuilding with a patch to work around an issue in lesstif
with
the latest X server.
how can I do the same for ROOT? Which is that patch? or what else?
If you follow the chain of emails back, they lead to
http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/gentoo-x86/app-editors/nedit/files/nedit-5.5-argbvisuals.patch
I'm not 100% convinced this is the core issue there, you might like to ask the
ROOT developers if it can handle the server reporting visuals with alpha
