Antwort: Re: Can't run X apps in EMBOSS - XCreatePixmap: BadDrawable

[David.Bauer at SCHERING.DE]

I thought that this is only a problem with Exceed X-Server for PC.
Btw. the settings needed for EMBOSS do not work for Blixem-Dotter.
So I use as default for graphical output 'cps' and view this with ghostview.
On the long run it would be nice to get the PLPLOT X11 libraries fixed, so that
they work also with other color settings.

> Error in XCreatePixmap: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter).

That sounds familiar to me. I had installed EMBOSS on a mainframe and when
trying to access it via an X-terminal emulator I had the same message. The fix
was to put the X-terminal emulator in "pseudocolor" mode or the PC in
"256 colors" mode. Your configuration is not the same, but there is maybe also
a problem with the color maps.
