When X exits, the screen is not correctly restored. It appears that the font and screen contents are not being restored to the values saved when X started up. Closer examination reveals that only every fourth byte of the saved font is being restored - those bytes whose offset is equal to 2 mod 4 are restored, the rest are zero. The code in X386 looks correct; if I write a program that uses similar code to save the font before entering X and restore it after X exits, it seems to work. Can anyone explain this? Is anyone using a Genoa svga under 386BSD without this problem? -- Richard -- Richard Tobin, Human Communication Research Centre, R.Tobin@ed.ac.uk Edinburgh University.
