[petsc-users] Save matrix view to postscript?

[Ronald M. Caplan]

After configuring with --with-afterimage I now cannot even get eh x-windows
to show the matrix at all.  I get the following error:

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:  0xae
  Serial number of failed request:  7
  Current serial number in output stream:  14
