success with xwin95

[Holger Vogt <hl212vo at uni-duisburg dot de>]

Dear Suhaib, dear Harold,

congretulations to the recent work on xfree XServer.

I have checked XWin95 and Xwin (with -engine options) on my Windows98
computer.

XWin95 is a success: circuit design software (e.g. xcircuit, Spice3) run
and show their graphics results.
Layout editor Magic complains with "Neither TrueColor 15, 16 nor 24, nor
Pseudocolor 8 found. Cannot initialize DISPLAY 127.0.0.1:0.0."

Any suggestions to that?

Xwin (with -engine options) does not run up to now. The following
outputs were generated:

-engine 1

Comment:
window with white screen, nothing happens, hourglas curser is on,
XWin may be killed only with task manager.
