That's odd. Do you get any OpenGL errors when running the application on your
Octane (check with ogldebug)? There's practically no difference in the SoXt
viewer code between IRIX and Linux, so my guess is that it's an OpenGL problem.
Perhaps the drawing area has some OpenGL initialization calls that are causing
some conflicts.
