Just thought I'd update for people running a search. I built and installed Xorg-6.8.2 and it works now. Has something to do with libXpm.so and a Security fix that was applied. Specifically this little line.
Code:
filename[0] == '/' ||
The result is you can't really use libXpm to write an Xpm file from an app like
the GIMP which tend to reference files by their absolute names.
Anyway. Thanks for posting your specs keefaz, it helped. Xorg-6.8.1/libXpm/WrFFrI.c was the culprit. They also buggered up the code when they "fixed" it in 6.8.2....
Code:
unsigned int i;
for (i = nbytes; --i >=0;)
*dst++ = *src++;
Heh, heh....
HERE is a patch to fix it
