Description Pierre 2009-06-30 23:59:58 CEST 
Hello,
I was using the RayTracerX since sometime with the 9.0 and 9.1 without a problem, on both PC/linux g++4.3 and MacOSX g++4.2. However, on both system, I cannot anymore with version 9.2 and 9.3b. If I am trying to open the RayTracerX with

/vis/open RayTracerX 

I receive the message : 

X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  1 (X_CreateWindow)
  Value in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  7
  Current serial number in output stream:  9

I tracked down the code up to the function
G4RTXScanner::GetXWindow(const G4String& name, G4ViewParameters& vp)

with the line :
  Status status = XGetRGBColormaps(display, RootWindow(display, screen_num),
     &scmap, &nMaps, XA_RGB_BEST_MAP);

However, I cannot find any reason for that crash. I tested with the N03 example (replacement of OGLIX with RayTracerX in vis.mac).

I certainly hope you will have an idea of what is going on here.

Regards,
Pierre

I tried also with g++ 4.1.2 on linux and g++ 4.0.1 on macosx, with the same result.

This was due to a failure to track a change in the base classes.  Fixed for next release.
