[ REQ 5677]: does not run?

[Petr.Krysl at tam4.mech.nwu.edu]

Hi,

I have installed geomview, and tried to run it.  I got an X error,
however. 
 
X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  1 (X_CreateWindow)
  Serial number of failed request:  946
  Current serial number in output stream:  958

My machine is HP/9000 730 with 24-bit display.  Here is the output of
xwininfo on the root

xwininfo: Window id: 0x26 (the root window) (has no name)

  Absolute upper-left X:  0

I have also tried to start up the thing on an 8-bit display.  This was
successful.

                        
                                Thanks for any help
