Hi all,
This question is a little xforms-unrelated, and i am sorry for that...
I also use the MIX Server on Win95 sometimes, without having any problem
with fdesign (xforms version 0.88.1), or any other X application. What i wanted
to ask is, if you can give some pointers to other free X Servers for Windows,
especially the ones you have tested with xforms. ( The reason that i want to
test other servers, is that at least on my machine the MIX Server "thinks" that
the visual depth is 24 bit, while it is 16 bit, causing X applications that
allocate many colors (as they think its a 24-bit display) to crash....
Thanks,
gpp.
