The statement you've used is almost right but if you want it to work properly 
you must add the Mode_switch function. The hole statement may look as folows:

% xmodmap -
  keycode 61 q Q at
  keycode <num> Mode_switch
  clear mod3
  add mod3 = Mode_switch
  <EOF>

where <num> is the keycode of the ALT key (see xev utility).
If you want more information, see the man page of X for the KEYBOARDS item.
I hope this help you.

Summary: 

If you start a client without a geometry and don't "place" the
window, you are logged out after about 10 minutes.

Details:

X11R5p17 with xdm running on a Sun4 SunOS 4.1.2 managing displays
for Xservers running on Sun3s, NCDs, or DecStation 5000/120s.
With this configuration, if you are using twm and start an X client
(ie. xterm) without specifying a geometry then don't actually place
the outline, you are logged out after about 10 minutes.  The 
following message then appears in the xdm errors file:

	error (pid 11269): pseudoReset timeout

The problem does not exist if you start the Xserver via startx.
We have an application that process for some large amount of time
and then brings up a window.  If the user isn't there to place the
window, he/she is logged out.  I know there are ways to work around
this (ie. have the application specify a geometry, using twm's
RandomPlacement, ...) but I want to understand/fix the real problem.

If anyone can shed light on this problem, I'd appreciate hearing from
you.

Thanks,

	--Rob

Yes.

I use it all the time from home. It works very well with 9600 baud modems.
I believe it out-performs all other X-over-serial-line systems.

Until I see a better system (Xremote version II from NCD :-),
I agree that it IS state of the art.

I have a card similar to this ("EVgA et4000 local bus") and it works fine.
CLOCK.EXE is useless for finding out the clocks, but by removing the Clocks:
line (from the config file), X386 will try to find what clocks it can.
Sometimes it won't find a couple of clocks, but if you run it a few times
you'll eventually get them all. Put this line in your Config file and you
wont have problems later detecting clocks at startup.

As for localbus vs non-localbus, I don't know. Everything seems pretty fast
on my 486/33 :)

font in use by the xterm has the upper ISO characters (e.g. characters with

I have just started working with DECWindows* (after a few years of Motif* on a
SUN*).  Two things frustrate/puzzle me.

(1) How do you bring a DECterm up on a remote server. We have logins limited to
    two on our DEC system.  I get invalid parameter errors when I try to run
    sys$system.

(2) What is XUI. Who supports and maintains the standard.  Should I use this
    instead of Motif (for a large program written already in XUI).  How do
    I mix Motif and XUI?

Hi out there,

after using pcomm as my favorite terminal-program I'm a bit angry about
that damned CTRL-A -Key, because Bash and Emacs like this thing, too.

So I just got myself a patch for Pcomm to understand 8-bit chars.
So far, so good. With no X running, means using plain text, everything works
fine for me after I patched my german.map to produce a value of 225 with
ALT-A, wich is something I call a 8-bit char.
With plain text, this works fine for pcomm, and I can use my CTRL-A for emacs
and bash again. 
But how to set up my X/xterm/stty/or_what_ever_you_think_it_may_be ???
There must be a way to do this, right??

So please help me out of this problem.

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks in Advance,     Thomas

No problem, I don't think its a bug. Its designed in. To quote from O'Reilly
Volume Two, page 189 on XFillRectangles....

"There is a limit to the number of rectangles that can be filled in a single
call, that varies according to the server. To determine how many rectangles you 
can fill in a single call, you find out your server's maximum request size
using XMaxRequestSize. Subtract 3 and divide by 2, and this is the maximum
number of rectangles you can fill in a single call to XFillRectangles."

Note that all of the rectangles will look the same: same colour etc.
The smallest allowed request size is 4096 * 4 bytes, so you will be able to
blat at least 16384 - 3 / 2 rectangles = 16381 / 2 = 8190 rectangles at a time
at the worst.

You can't, and in fact it may change without your even being able to
tell that it's happened; xterm lets the user switch fonts from menu
selections without doing anything the process running on the pty can
detect.

I'd just go ahead and assume ISO Latin-1, document this, and just
"*shrug* if you want those characters, you have to use a Latin-1 font".
If you have two modes available, you might want to provide a way for
the user to switch between them....

The deep dark truth of the matter is that your server (everybody's,
actually) has a limit on the number of bytes that can be transmitted
in a single request.  The XFillRectangles() function (on the source
tape in mit/lib/X/XDrRects.c, if you're interested) isn't smart enough
to split large requests into multiple batches, and anything beyond the
limit gets tossed.

The limit on the number of rectangles you can draw in a single call to
XFillRectangles() is easy to figure out:

	max_rectangles = ((XMaxRequestSize(display) * 4) - 12) / 8

The 12 bytes that get subtracted are for the request header, which
contains an opcode, the length of the request, a drawable and the GC
to be used.  That leaves the remaining space for rectangles at 8 bytes
a pop.

I look at this approach as a hack (necessary, for now), since you
still have to know something about the underlying protocol before you
can figure out how many rectangles (or whatever) can be sent.  A fix
for this isn't difficult and should probably be put in place for other
similar functions.  Chances are that if the protocol changes sometime
in the future and the Xlib interface doesn't, some programs are going
to stop working.

Would someone in the know care to comment on why it is the way it is
and whether or not there are any plans to make the fix?

My review of the X11R5 xterm indicates that it supports cursor movement and
control  per ANSI X3.64, but does not support color control.
