Hi everyone, I am trying to run Abstract Generator 5.4 and was having some trouble with the X display and was hoping someone might have come across the error ....

But now I am getting the same error again. And sometimes the window pops up and dies. Any ideas? There's obviously some display setting that is screwing things up.. but I have no clue what it might be... Mallika
Hi Mallika, It's not something I've seen before, but here are a few things you could try which may help: * Make sure your display is set correctly and that you've done an 'xhost +mallika' command on your local display machine (assuming your username is mallika). * Try running it natively on the machine (ie. not using VNC). If this works, try to use the same display settings for your vnc session ('xdpyinfo' should give you the resolution and colour depth of the display). * Try different VNC settings - 8-bit, 16-bit, 24-bit, different resolutions, etc. Other than that, I'm afraid that's all I can think of. Neither the common-lisp error nor the X error are particularly indicative of the problem, sadly. Best regards, Graeme.
