I am willing to test, but I need the file and the command to reproduce the problem.<div><br></div><div>Christian</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Sep 19, 2011 at 18:48, Mary Haley <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:haley@ucar.edu">haley@ucar.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Thanks for providing the file. I was able to view it just fine under my Snow Leopard Mac, but that was expected.<br>
<br>
I don't have a Lion system, but I've sent the file to someone who does to see if they have the same problem.<br>
<br>
It does sound like an X server issue.<br>
<br>
If anybody else has a Mac Lion system could they try the same thing that JunJun did, and let me know if you have a problem or not?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
