[ followups being sent to comp.sys.hp now ]

I experience similar problems when using HP's datebook program, I also
have everything set to explicit, and I can bring up the datebook with a
couple of keypresses, enter in a date and message, but in order to
select an event type, I need to use the mouse (whinge number 1), and
once I have used the mouse, the focus highlight around the current
widget is lost (whinge number 2), and I am forced to continue using the
mouse in this application until I close the window (at which point I am
able to fire up another one via the keyboard again.) (whinge number 3)

If anyone has found how to fix this, I would be very grateful to know
how!

    Hi, I am compiling a survey on architecture support for advanced
    visually-oriented applications

    Some aspects of this survey are the following:

    1. Support for graphics function in general-purpose processors.
    2. Sp. purpose coprocessors that offload work from main processors.
    3. Design choices in actual workstation systems ranging from Xterminals
       to advanced modeling/visualization engines.

    Some related areas include design of laser-printer engines / Postscript
    interpretors.

    Some of the microarchitecture issues are:
    =========================================

    1. Techniques for optimizing frame-buffer access.
        > Sp. cache instructions, e.g., allocate-no-fetch as in 88110.
        > Small frame-buffer write-back cache with 1/60 sec flushing.
        > Tiling organization of frame-buffer for exploiting access locality.
    2. Support for saturating arithmetic.
    3. Packed pixel arithmetic.
    4. Support for single-cyle x,y addressing.
    5. TLB support for different page sizes.
    6. Support for the special requirements posed by applications such as
        > MPEG
        > Display Postscript
        > 3-D graphics and viewing transforms
        > Gouraud/Phong shading
        > Real-time video processing
        > Speech recognition

X gurus,
	I'm in the process of trying to add an input device (motion
tracker) and the documentation (that comes with the dist.) is not very 
good.  Is there a third party book that anyone is aware of that does
the job a little better??  While I'm here, is there anyone who's added
an input device??  Any advice/pitfalls to avoid would be greatly
appreciated.

You aren't right, either.
You should call it X Window System or X oder X11. That's it.

The quote you are looking for is by Jim Fulton, if I remember correctly
and it is:

"It is a window system called X, not a system called X Windows"

I dunno if this still is true, but someone mentioned some time ago, there
is a company in the US selling a product called Xwindows, which has nothing
to do with X at all.

Hi all,

The <ctrl><alt><backspace> sequence that is mentioned in the X386 man pages
doesn't want to work for me. I did play with the DontZap line in Xconfig but
that doesn't seem to have any effect if uncommented or not, what does this
mean, if anything?
Everything in the SLS.98pl5 package seems to work fine, even though the only 
way to reboot was without syncing. BTW, can  a filesystem be corrupted and
everthing still seem to work?
What other files and parameters need to be tweaked beyond Xconfig?
At the moment all that happens when startx is run is a screen that looks as
if X is trying to fire up and it stays that way until the reset button is 
pushed.

thanks for the help,

Date: Tue, 15 Dec 92 18:31:08 -0500
Message-Id: <9212152331.AA23228@expo.lcs.mit.edu>

Some new features (and less bugs I hope) are added to the
new version:	* activity-light,
		* idle-colors,
		* new revised xhchat version,
		* dynamic-column-number,
		* automatic-toplevel-width (depending on font width),
		* selectable button-font

And for those who don't know what xhtalk and xhchat are:

Description:
------------
	Xhtalk looks periodically at several hosts
	for specified users, logged on console. All
	found users and their idle times are displayed
	in the xhtalk-window.
	By clicking on a username, an x-based talk (xhchat)
	or the sytem-talk or a user-defined command
	can be chosen.
>>                                                           <<
>>	Run xhtalk during your session in the background,    <<

>>                                                           <<
	Xhtalk uses the "finger" protocol, the
	system call "talk" and xhchat, an X-based
	talk-interface.
-------------	
	Xhchat is similar to the old xtalk, but it
	works better.  :-)
	
	Xhchat supports automatic scrolling,
	deletion, and insertion at any position in
	text. The user can select, cut, paste and
	search text.

Hi,

We have just switched from X11R4 to X11R5 pl 19.  We use a DecSystem 
as the X file server for the entire department with X11R5 pl19 and 
we are running xdm on all machines.

However, only one person can successfully login. The rest of us got
the following error message: 

error (pid 186): Cannot open server authorization file /usr/local/X11R5/lib/X11/xdm/A:0-a00186

Am i missing anything? Please help?

It is looking for the fonts normally used by XView.  You have a couple of
choices here

	1) Get the these fonts from export.lcs.mit.edu (make sure you get
	   the files ending in .bdf) and compile them on your vax using
	   the font compiler (FONT) and copy them into the directory
	   SYS$COMMON:[SYSFONT.DECW.USER_75DPI] then run the DCL script
	   SYS$UPDATE:DECW$MKFONTDIR.COM and then restart the X Windows
	   server.

	2) Edit the DECW$FONT*.DAT files in SYS$COMMON:[SYSFONT.DECW.75DPI]
	   and SYS$COMMON:[SYSFONT.DECW.100DPI] and add in your aliases for
	   these missing fonts.  The format of the files follows the standard
	   MIT Font alias format.

Patches for a variety of problems in R5 are available via anonymous
ftp on export.lcs.mit.edu and via the xstuff mail archive server on
expo.lcs.mit.edu.

Fixes are available via anonymous ftp to export.lcs.mit.edu (18.24.0.12),
in the directory /pub/R5/fixes/.  The file for this fix is "fix-20".
Instructions for applying the fix are included in the file.  Fixes usually
propagate to other distribution sites as well, so it may pay to check at a
nearer site first.

For those without ftp access, individual fixes can be obtained by mail by
sending a message to xstuff@expo.lcs.mit.edu (18.24.0.11).  In the usual
case, the message should have a subject line and no body, or a single-line
body and no subject.  For example, make the line:
	send fixes 20
to get this fix.  To get a summary of fixes, make the line:
	index fixes
If you need help, make the line:

Some mailers produce mail headers that are unusable for extracting return

     Hi Xperts,

     I am writing a Xlib based aplication and I am implementing my own 
user interface with a motif look. The push buttons are working ok, but 
I am having problems with pull-down menus. I am having problems with the
Events during automatic grabs, they went to the window where the button
was pressed instead of going to the window where the button was released.
     The events for these windows are masked like this:
      event_mask = ButtonPressMask | ButtonReleaseMask | OwnerGrabButtonMask;
     I thought the OwnerGrabButtonMask would override the server's automa-
tic pointer grab but this is not working in this case, what may be wrong ?
Which command or mask or whatever it is can affect the effect of the 
OwnerGrabButtonMask ?
     I am using X11R5 on a SPARCstation IPC.

The only way to use the Display PostScript extension on DECstations is to
use the DECwindows server.  However, you should be able to use the client
part of the X11R5 distribution with the DECwindows server without any
problems.  I do it all the time.  I'm not aware of anything the X11R5 server
that is not in the DECwindows server.

Again, you can't use NeWS with the X11R5 server.  However, you can get
an X11R5 server with the Display PostScript extension from ICS.

I once was visiting a friend and used a Macintosh running MacX over
SLIP over a such a modem.  It was usable.  Not excellent, not even
after making allowances for the machine and X server.  But not
hopeless, unless you're doing something involving lots of images.
Certainly worth trying.

You can put something like:

if ("`tty`" == "/dev/console") then
    echo `hostname`:0 > $HOME/.x11host
else
    set X11HOST = (`cat $HOME/.x11host`)
    setenv DISPLAY $X11HOST
endif


in your .bashrc file or .login file.
This will of course only work within a NFS mounted file system.
Also, it will only work as long as you work from one workstation
at a time.
