I now moved xclock to one of the secondary screens and captured it with xwd. The first ~875 bytes contain "real" data, the rest (53791 bytes) are 0xff. Displaying the dump later on with xwud shows off a completely white image (this is what you see from xclock on one of the secondary screens). > If the screen capture *doesn't* the pointers and scale, then this may be an > xclock bug (or possibly widget library bug) after all. I guess (but of course I'm not sure -- I'm not a X11 / XFree86 guru...) this means that the used widget library contains a bug. I guess it's responsible for providing the xwd dump data, but not the hardware driver... > But I'm betting they'll be there, and definitely show up when you view the > screen capture image in the middle screen. You've lost:-) It's a completely white image and it doesn't make any difference if the xwud window is on the main screen or on any other. xclock is from: $ dpkg -l xbase-clients Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-====================-====================-======================================================== ii xbase-clients 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 miscellaneous X clients All the rest of the X11 system is also at version 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8.
