1933.0. "AS255 hang from Inlay Backdrops" by CSC32::D_BROWN (Dave Brown CSC-VSG/INTDRV) Mon Apr 21 1997 17:25

    
    	AlphaStation 255/300 with ZLX2-E (TGA2), OpenVMS Alpha V7.1 and
    Motif V1.2-4, no Open3D.
    
    	When using the StyleManager to set the Backdrop to either
    InlayColor or InlayPlain, the system hangs to such a point that the
    reset button on the front of the system box has no effect. System must
    be power-cycled to clear problem. These are the only two pre-packaged
    backdrops which result in this behavior.
    
    	Is there a fix for this?
    
    	Thanks,
    
    	Dave

1933.1Known TGA2 Driver Bug -- See DECwindows Motif and Open3D conferences...XDELTA::HOFFMANSteve, OpenVMS EngineeringTue Apr 22 1997 11:378
   This is a known bug in older TGA2 device drivers, and has been
   resolved in the more current drivers shipped in the Open3D kit.
   (Be aware that you may or may not want the latest drivers -- there
   is a matrix of device and OpenVMS version support for each Open3D
   release.  Open3D is the path graphics device drivers are first
   shipped via, as Open3D ships more frequently than OpenVMS.  No
   Open3D license is required for 2D operations.)
