xdvi couldn't allocate enough colorsx

[xadder]

After switching from tetex to texlive, I now get the following warning from xdvi:

Couldn't allocate enough colors - expect low data quality

I can click ok and the message disappears, but it is annoying to have to do that every time. I am running a fairly new Thinkpad T43 with Ubuntu edgy, so there shouldn't be any problems with colour allocation.

Does anyone know how to remove this annoying messsage?

Anyone?

Hmm interesting problem. I have the solution (after reading the whole error message :lolflag: ):
Add the -thorough flag after xdvi.

xdvi -thorough

Many thanks! Worked :)

I wonder if this is something to do with my having Xubuntu installed rather than ubuntu. On my pure ubuntu PC at work I don't get this problem. Anyway, I'll just make a nice alias to take care of this in future.

I have a full Ubuntu and am getting this as well so I doubt it is Xubuntu causing the problem. My suspicion is that it has something to do with texlive. I only had the problem following the switch from tetex to texlive.
