I've be playing with stuff on the SunBlade, and I've come across a
number of X-related issues.
First, on the 3D card (ifb), but not the built in video (m64)
XDrawStipple doesnt seem to work. This is most noticible in twm window
borders. Stipple appears simply as black. If I futz with display depth
and mode, the stipple turns different colors (I got white and yellow as
well). This has been confirmed by tibbetts on a different machine.
Second, whenever I try to load an app that might have 3d stuff on the
ifb display (ProE, xmms OpenGL vis plugin, libSDL binaries) I get logged
out. I believe this is just X dying, but I have not confirmed this. This
does not occur on the m64 display.
Also the built in video card has a tendancy to revert to 8-bit. I've
been playing with /etc/athena/login/config to try to get it to default
to 24 bit color. xdpyinfo seems to indicate the display supports 24bit,
but the default is still 8bit PseudoColor.
