Strange results from xdpyinfo

[David C. Partridge]

When using two relatively recent X implementations (VcxSrv, Ubuntu 14.04) an
X client reports strange results from xdypinfo.

 

Specifically there are multiple (many, many) results looking like:

 

  visual:

    visual id:    0x8c

    class:    TrueColor

    depth:    24 planes

    available colormap entries:    256 per subfield

    red, green, blue masks:    0xff0000, 0xff00, 0xff

    significant bits in color specification:    8 bits

  visual:

    visual id:    0x8d

    class:    TrueColor

    depth:    24 planes

    available colormap entries:    256 per subfield

    red, green, blue masks:    0xff0000, 0xff00, 0xff

    significant bits in color specification:    8 bits

  visual:

    visual id:    0x8e

    class:    TrueColor

    depth:    24 planes

    available colormap entries:    256 per subfield

    red, green, blue masks:    0xff0000, 0xff00, 0xff

    significant bits in color specification:    8 bits

 

this is blowing the buffer for an application that uses xdpyinfo to
determine the display resolution to use.

 

By contrast OpenText Exceed shows only ONE 24 plane entry.

 

Is there any fix for this problem?

 

Thanks

Dave
