3611.0. "Iconic Map graphical lines OVERDRAWING other windows" by TAEC::BOURGADE (BOURGADE Jean-Michel, European EMA SVP Engineering) Mon Aug 24 1992 10:11

Hello,
	A partner is experiencing a major problem with Iconic Map :


Configuration : 
   ULTRIX V4.2A (Rev. 47) System #4: Wed Apr 22 09:44:09 GMT-1:00 1992
   UWS V4.2A (Rev. 420)

He has now upgraded to MOTIF 1.1.3, and the problems remain the same.


o Version of DECmcc:         BMS Version 1.2
o Date of iconic_map exe.: 
  
	ls -asl /usr/mcc/mmexe/*icon*

   4152 -rwxr-xr-x  1 root      4239360 Jul  2 15:31
   /usr/mcc/mmexe/mcc_iconic_map_pm

Problem description :

 Any window ( even non DECmcc windows : DECterms, mail-window, etc... ) can 
get overdrawn when appearing in foreground of the IMPM. Then when you move them
they stay with the graphic lines of the IMPM crossing them. I can fax you
the screen portions they faxed me, I could not reproduce the problem
on my configuration.

  Even the IMPM pull down menus may get overdrawn.

  A "map window message" may sometime appear : software error : 
internal drawing error 

Best regards,

	Jean-Michel

    system had the PX board replaced by a HX board.

3611.3Graphic Acclerator: Which?TAVIS::ORNATue Apr 27 1993 08:2410
    I saw a qar was entered in the QAR system: MUSEUM.
    This qar was answered that a graphic accelerator should be
    installed. Nothing is mentioned in the Release Notes of
    DECmcc V1.3. Can someone pls help me and tell me what should
    be done for a DECstation 5000/125 with ULTRIX 4.2A and DECmcc 
    V1.3.
    
    Thanks,
    Orna.
