Problem: Running Tecplot on the SUN Bade gives this error message: Tecplot 10.0-0-7 – 15:54:46 09-25-2003X Protocol error: BadColor (invalid Colormap parameter)Major opcode = 84
Solution: A fix will be available in Release 2 of Tecplot 10. In the interim the solution is to determine the correct X visual by hand and instruct Tecplot to use that visual. 1. Run glxinfo and at the bottom of the report will be a table of visuals. 2. Determine a good visual for Tecplot (one that has double buffering and a large number of colors). 3. Convert the hex number for the visual into decimal. 4. Enter the following command into your tecplot.cfg file: $!Internal VISUALIDOVERRIDE=nnn where nnn is the decimal value of the visual to use.In the case of the SUN Blade add the following line to the tecplot.cfg file: $!Internal VISUALIDOVERRIDE=40 If the above doesnt work then try $!Internal VISUALIDOVERRIDE=44
