X11 for G5/PPC problems incl screen shots

Hello: Most x11 on Leopard questions have been archived, so you can't add to them.


Please note I'm talking about x11 on G5 ppc hardware, so one is limited to OS10.5 and xquartz 2.6.1

(I don't think snow leopard 10.6 runs on G5 ppc, and I don't think xquartz 2.6.2, the current, will run under 10.5.)


There are problems on this x11/OS combo, running software on the remote linux machine and displaying locally on my mac running the xquartz.


Gimp running on the remote linux machine can no longer do screen shots (File> Acquire>screen shot for just a single window) after the OS and xquartz upgrade from 10.4. Gimp acquires only the upper 20% of the screen or so, repeated in a mosaic.


The error messages on the remote machine are lots of errors like this:

X Error: BadPixmap (invalid Pixmap parameter) 4

Major opcode: 54

Minor opcode: 0

Resource id: 0x1600bbe



I have had sys admin look over the obvious stuff, the x connections all seem fine.


I have tried this connecting with both ssh -Y and ssh -X


Any/All suggestions welcome, thank you.
