Hi, I am trying to build an X11_to_MPEG converter using xmx (www.cs.brown.edu/software/xmx/, which was part of Debian back in 1999, now compiled from source.) to multiplex the X11 Desktop to both the local :0 Display, as well as a Xvfb :2 Display. The Xvfb buffer acts as source for xwd_to_<somemovieformat>. (If anyone has an out-of-the-box solution for this I am also fine :-) For XMX to work both Displays need to have *exactly* the same visual, otherwise it complains and exits. (This makes sense, since xmx does not want to interpret and map the X11 protocol between different visuals) Looking at xdpyinfo output the only difference seems to be the "red, green, blue masks", which are in different order, adressing different bits. This prevents multiplexing the same data to the two X servers. See attached xdpyinfo output. Any idea where the difference comes from, and if it is on purpose ? I am using the 4.1.0 Packages from testing. Yours, Steffen Display :0 default visual id: 0x23 visual: visual id: 0x23 class: TrueColor depth: 24 planes available colormap entries: 256 per subfield red, green, blue masks: 0xff0000, 0xff00, 0xff significant bits in color specification: 8 bits Display :2 visual: visual id: 0x23 class: TrueColor depth: 24 planes available colormap entries: 256 per subfield red, green, blue masks: 0xff, 0xff00, 0xff0000 significant bits in color specification: 8 bits
