When calling makeCurrent() when rendering to a bit map the X-server on SUSE 9.1 dumps. I filed a bug through the SUSE web site but no one appears to care about this rather annoying/serious bug. The problem exists on x86-64 and IA32 architecture chips. Other architectures are most likely effected as well but we do not have the HW for me to test this. Has anyone seen this problem before and is there a work around? Does anyone have a newer version of XFree on their SUSE 9.1 distro and can you confirm that the attached code works? Help is much appreciated. Thanks, Robert -- Robert Schweikert <Robert.Schweikert@abaqus.com> ABAQUS
