Bug#163093: xboard: refuses to start on a 8bit $DISPLAY
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
I was able to both reproduce the bug and to program a fix. I will need
some time to wrap my head around Debian packaging and will release the
fixed version with RFS. For those impatient, here's the patch :-)
=============================
diff -r xboard.new/xboard-4.2.7/xboard.c xboard.debug/xboard.c
2482a2483
>
2484c2485
< if (appData.bitmapDirectory[0] != NULLCHAR) {
- ---
> if (forceMono || appData.bitmapDirectory[0] != NULLCHAR) {
=============================
The patched version will then need to be run with the bitmap directory
specified.
Once again, this is all very preliminary but this is basically the
gist of it.
