I'm using a GeForce 1000 card with TwinView and Overlays enabled.
Our current driver version is 6160. When I run 'xwd' on a visual with an overlay, xwd crashes. The problem seems to be that there are 15-bit colors on the visual but xwd tries to fill in a 16-bit color. I heard this is a driver issue and was curious if the new driver addresses this?
Thanks,
damion

I'm also having problems with xwd crashing with overlays. Are the any workarounds for this?

Which version of the NVIDIA drivers are you using? The problem was related to the number of bits used in the colors returned by the driver. As a temporary 'hack', I modified the xwd code to test for the overlay color bits to be less then 1 bit (i.e. 64 colors=32 colors).
We upgraded to driver version 7676 and xwd is working fine with overlays.
