Re: A Problem with Geomview

[slevy]

This does sound pretty strange.  The only thing that comes to mind re bizarre
coloring is the gamma setting for the troublesome Indigo.  We have one such
machine with 8-bit graphics, and once tried changing its "gamma" setting
(/usr/sbin/gamma, setting stored in /etc/config/system.glGammaVal).
It's normally 1.7; changing it to (say) 1.2 dramatically shifted the colors.
I admit this seems an unlikely explanation.

Tests that might narrow the problem down:
  - When you resize the graphics window, does the mis-coloring persist?
  - Try typing "vs" with the cursor in the graphics window.  This toggles
	between the normal double-buffered graphics (in which case you get
	an image dithered into a 4-bit colormap) and single-buffering
	(where you'll see the image being erased and redrawn, but it has an
	8-bit colormap available).  How does this compare with the normal view?
