Hi all,

I noticed something weird with xclock. On a Suse box it loads with
XRender on and shows beautiful colors for minute and Hour hands, and for
the major scale ticks.

On the other hand on Slack 10 it doesn't show the same. xclock is
compiled against Xrender lib and should display beautiful colors.

I looked everywhere in the two distros without finding where the config
is done.

Any specialist around ?

Thanks

Jacques

I'm not a specialist, but I have a question...

Are you sure that you've enabled the XRender extension in your Slackware
/etc/X11/xorg.conf ?

FWIW, under Slackware 10.0, xclock renders properly for me (no jaggedy
edges, smooth colouration, etc.). For that matter, it renders properly
under native Slackware 9.0. But... both of these systems have the
Xrender extension enabled.

Try /etc/X11/app-defaults/XClock-color

You mean dri ? If so it is enabled here. I have the no jaggedy edges,
but no coloration.

Any idea ?

Thanks
