[ REQ 5771]: Geomview

[degier at phys.uva.nl]

Hi,

I've downloaded the rs6000 version of Geomview but encountered some
problems concerning the display depth. The error message I got when I
tried to start up geomview was:

X-Geomview currently supports only 24, 8, and 1 bit
        deep displays.  No supported display depth was found.
        
I hope you can help me correct the problem. I'll attach the content
of 'xdpyinfo' for your information.

Sincerely yours,
Jan de Gier.
