Display problem on OpenSUSE 11.2

[Huddleston, John]

Kumar,

Run the command

 xdpyinfo-display localhost:0.0 | grep back

It will tell you whether your server Backingstore is on or off, i.e.

options:    backing-store YES, save-unders YES

Subject: Display problem on OpenSUSE 11.2

Dear All,

I am working with OpenGrADS 2.0 on OpenSUSE 11.2.  Whenever the
graphics window of GrADS is overlapped by other windows, I find that
the overlapped portion is wiped clean and I have to explicitly
redisplay the graphics.  I used to work around this problem earlier
with "Option BackingStore on" in the XF86 configuration.  However, in
my present installation of OpenSUSE 11.2, the BackingStore option in
the configuration file "xorg.conf" no longer seems to have any effect.

I would greatly appreciate any clue to solve this problem.

Thanks,
Kumar.
