RE: X application fails

["Terry Dabbs" <tdabbs at staktek dot com>]

No, Exactly the same error. Unfortunately, the only information I got
from Agilent was that they couldn't get it to work either, in the past.
They said it DOES work on linux with their application (isn't it
virtually the same?). In any case thanks for replying. If you have an
idea for a direction I could go with this, that would be helpful,
otherwise I'll have to try other Xservers.

Thanks, I won't be able to try it until Monday. On vacation today, so no
direct access. I will let you know...

Maybe it's a problem with the missing 8bit colorplane on Cygwin/X
server.
You might try to run Cygwin/X in 8bit mode (XWin -depth 8 -fullscreen)
