1275.0. "IVP PST_CUBE hangs with Open3D 3.5" by MLNCSC::BORGINI () Fri Apr 11 1997 15:02

Hi folks,
        a customer of mine has a problem about an IVP program.

He has an Alphastation 255 with 64Mb, working with OpenVMS Alpha
6.2-1h3, Motif 1.2-4, Open3D 3.5, patch ALPMOTF01_U4012 installed, graphic
interface Powerstorm 3D30. 
Testing IVP of Open3D, the program Cube test hangs, while the program
GL_IVP (also if it is less heavy) functions correctly.
Here is some informations:

@sys$test:pst_cube

colormap allocation failed

colormap allocation failed

colormap allocation failed

......

You can find on my node NEBBIA (address 46.364), directory [ALENIA1],
file: OPEN3DIVPERROR.TXT;1, complete info's about the error and the
environment of this customer.
I've not find anything in STARS/Notes.
Thanks in advance for any possible hints.
Regards,
       Roberto.

Hi,
  any news about this problem?

We have reproduced customer problem also on our Alphastation 255, with
same configuration HW/SW.     
Regards,
       Roberto.

    This is a problem:
    
    	$ dir NEBBIA::[ALENIA1]
    	%DIRECT-E-OPENIN, error opening NEBBIA::[ALENIA1]*.*;* as input
    	-RMS-E-DNF, directory not found
    	-SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHFILE, no such file
    
    But is there some other problem with the system?  The
    error report that it cannot load the colormap on a 3D30
    with an example program is the only issue the customer 
    has?  
    
1275.3I've posted the file OPEN3DIVPERROR.TXTMLNCSC::BORGINIThu Apr 17 1997 14:449
Hi .2,
     excuse me, maybe I've deleted this subdirectory without thinking...

However the file OPEN3DIVPERROR.TXT;1 is also on my default directory,
AT$DISK:[BORGINI], on the node NEBBIA.
I've posted it by mail to you, so there aren't any possible my confusions.
Thanks and regards,
                  Roberto.

    From our QA lab, this report:
    
    >All pst tests will report such "colormap allocation failed" under
    >CDE enviroment with an 8-plane board (zlx-e1, zlxp-e1, tga2-2MB).
    >This happens on both OSF and UNIX and on any system.
    >
    >No problem on 24-plane board, eg tga2-16MB.
    >No problem under xdm enviroment(on both type of boards).
    
    CDE is known to be a colormap hog.  Otherwise, this seems
    to work here.  Anything else running?
    
1275.5Thanks, he will try with 4D20 interface.MLNCSC::BORGINIFri Apr 18 1997 13:438
Hi Dick,
       thanks for your suggestions. My customer will try pst_cube IVP test
       on this Alphastation 255 with an interface more powerful, the
       Powerstorm 4D20, as soon as he will have one.

Regards,
       Roberto.
