Hi Puneet,

This could happen because:

1. You have a display.drf which defines the relevant layer as not being blinking
2. You have invoked "icfb -noblink"
3. There has been a call hiEnableBlink(nil) in your .cdsinit
4. You're running in 8-plane pseudo-color and have run out of colours.
5. You've got the UNIX env vars $CDS_USE_PRIVATE_CMAP or $CDS_NUM_USER_COLORS
set and it's run out of colours. There may be other env vars that affect it too
- look for other $CDS env vars. I've not had to use an 8-bit display for so long
that I've forgotten most of this stuff!

Anyway, hopefully that may give you some pointers as to where to look.

Best Regards,

Andrew.

 

Yet another possibility:

6. You're running in 8-plane PseudoColor and your colormap is swapped out
(either the root visual is 8-plane and icfb is using a private colormap, or
the root visual is 24-plane).

Most probably if it is swapped out you have a 24-plane root visual else you'd
notice the colors are seriously weird.
