I have recently install X11R5 on my Sparc 1+ and I find that it works great.  The
speed compared to the SUN version of X11R4 which carries all the overhead of
sunview, NeWS and X11 is impressive.  We are on a network of Sparcs and it makes
sense to store fonts and most executables on one server.  X11R5 comes packaged with
a font server daemon which supports this.  I am not much of a hacker but the code
for the daemon compiled flawlessly.  Also, the daemon loads and runs just fine.  
However, when I try to access the shared fonts on the machine running the fs server,
the program attempting access bombs (i.e. fslsfonts, fsinfo) with a message that
the server cannot be found.

fs &
fsinfo
fsinfo:  unable to open server "(null)"
fsinfo -server ksksun:6000
Binding TCP socket:  Address already in use
Error:
Fatal server error!
Error:  Cannot establish any listening socketsError:


I don't understand much about sockets and really don't understand TCP calls.  However
the X11R5 documentation on this subject is rather thin and in principal, the
commands above should work.  So I have the sense that this is simply a configuration
problem.  Has anyone used fs?  Anyone have any suggestions?  

Thanks in advance.

I can't seem to be able to get XWarpPointer to work at all
in an xview program under OpenWindows 2 (olvwm). I'm not
really an xlib programmer, so could someone out there please
let me know how it can be done? (Some example code would be
greatly appreciated.) 

I've already tried comp.windows.open-look and alt.toolkits.xview
and I have only got "let us know what you find out" email.
Thanks alot for any assistance you can give, I'm really
stuck right now.

I have used xwd to save a bunch of windows. If I do an xpr  with minimal options,
and print the result, My image looks sort of like this on the paper:

    ---------------------------
    |                          |
    |                          |

    |     XXXXXXXXXXXXXX       |
    |     XXXXXXXXXXXXXX       |
    |     XXXXXXXXXXXXXX       |
    |                          |
    |                          |
    ---------------------------

What I want is to reduce the size of my image and put multiple ones on a page like 
this:

    ---------------------------
    | xxxxxx     xxxxxx        |
    | xxxxxx     xxxxxx        |
    |                          |
    | xxxxxx     xxxxxx        |
    | xxxxxx     xxxxxx        |
    |                          |
    ---------------------------

Actually, I don't care if my image ends up being landscape or portrait, and
if I can't put pairs of images next to each other can you at least tell me how
to append one below another. Here's what I have done:

xpr -device ps -header j1.1over -append j1.ps -portrait -psfig -height 2
.5 -top 0.1 j1.1over

xpr -device ps -header j1.1 -output j1.ps -portrait -psfig -height 2.5 -
top 0.1 j1.1

This resulted in a two page printout, each page with a small (2.5 inches high perhaps)
image in the bottom left hand corner.

So what should I be doing?

Thanks,

It is hard to get real-time performance in blitting images to the
screen.  The fastest way to do this is to create a bunch of pixmaps
and blit them out in short order.  However, so much memory is used,
it will take a while for the server to grab all of the physical
memory it can.  Your application will be really slow for a while
and gradually pick up speed to something approaching animation.
    (Results will, of course, vary from machine to machine).

We indicated that auto-repeat KeyPress events would typically not have
KeyRelease events associated with them. We were wrong.

A session with xev is sufficient to show that X servers (at least the four
servers from different vendors that I tested, spanning R3 to R5) do indeed
generate KeyRelease events for auto-repeat keystrokes.

Sorry for the misinformation.

Perhaps it's time to invoke der Mouse's principle and inquire what the
original poster was trying to accomplish? There may be a better way to
approach the problem than defeating auto-repeat.

     I need to determine if a specific Colormap has been installed.
  I believe that I can accomplish this by using XListInstalledColormaps which
  returns a list of Colormaps. In X.h, Colormap is defined as:
    typedef XID Colormap where XID is an unsigned long.

  My question is, what is the structure, if any, of a Colormap? How do I 
  determine if Colormap  "colormap_name" has been installed?

	export.lcs.mit.edu	contrib/tgif-2.12-patch5.Z
	cs.ucla.edu		pub/tgif-2.12-patch5.Z

The patch is also posted to comp.sources.bugs.

Please uncompress and then apply the patch with
'patch -p -N < tgif-2.12-patch5'.
Here's a short list of added features/bug fixes.

1)  Fix a bug in printing stretched large bitmaps.
2)  Speed up the printing of xpixmap objects in non-color mode.
3)  Add an X default, XPmInXGrabSCFormat, to make the xpixmap output resembles
    what's generated by xgrabsc.  This shouldn't be done normally unless you
    are using some software the insists on xpm generated by xgrabsc (such as
    Servio's GeODE).  The xpm file generated by xgrabsc is kind of non-standard
    (you can't directly #include such a file in C because some commas are
    missing).

(running 'sum' on tgif-2.12-patch5.Z on a SUN4 should get: 17053  10)

Xlib is (usually) asynchronous, so most Xlib functions do not immediately
return special error values.  Instead, you will asynchronously receive an
error, such as an Alloc error, if the pixmap cannot be created.  The Xlib
manual lists possible errors and their meanings.

Hello,
	My apologies if I'm using the wrong place to ask.

	I'm using XFig since quite a long ago.

	Now I upgraded it to XFig-2.1.3, and suddently 
	lost the ability to create pictires using fonts
	from Postscript palette. Well, XFig itself does
	not mind, of course, but now "fig2dev" complains
	saying
		PS fonts not supported, substituting ......

	when I try to convert "foo.fig" to "foo.pic",
	like
		fig2dev -L pic foo.fig > foo.pic

	Funny, it doesn't complain at all on my old *.fig
	files, produced by Xfig-1.4 (well, I don't recall
	the exact version, but the files which go OK through
	"fig2dev" say 
		#FIG 1.4X
	in their first line, while offenders say
		#FIG 2.1

	I use:

	XFig-2.1.3
	transfig-2.1.4 with PL1 applied.

	AIX/370, IBM 3090.

	Please help, if you can! I desperately need to be

Sure. I have written a small sample application you can use to open
hundreds of displays and stuff them all into a single application context.
Works fine. And even catches broken connections. However, due to lack of a
real Xlib support for such cases, it uses the ugly setjmp/longjmp trick.

	And the government wants to know why developing X applications
in Ada costs so much!!  I am old enough to remember the tail end of JOVIAL
(a previous government developed language) and someone asking us to develop
bindings between our FORTRAN libraries and JOVIAL.  The problems were very
similar and the solutions equally ugly in many cases and JOVIAL was not as
different from FORTRAN as Ada is from C.  

	The solution is for someone to
completely re-implement not only the X library and intrinsics with a
design geared toward Ada but the GUIs libraries (OLIT & MOTIF) as well.
The resulting implementation would probably look nothing like the X, Xt, and
Xm libraries of today. 

	The real problem is the government issuing specs that call for
development of code in Ada using Motif and X. (Note my current contract has
this specified).  They then wonder why the project overruns budget, and the
software is both unmaintainable and unportable.

Hi there,

I have the version of UIL delivered with my Motif license.  It handles the
motif widget set (well it doesn't have dialog shells) well enough, but I
want to be able to add widgets to it.  I know that there is a file somewhere
that determines the parse rules for the UIL, but I don't remember where it
is and can't find any info in FAQ's or the V1.1 book for Motif.

Has anyone ever added widgets to the UIL?  Can you point me to some`
instructions on how to do it?

Thanks,

This is correct, except for one detail: the assumption that SetValues
on the translations resource has different effects depending upon the
directive in the translation table.  It doesn't (or shouldn't).
The above translation table would result from calling XtOverrideTranslations.
SetValues on the translations resource always does a replacement operation,
never an augment or override.  SetValues ignores the directive in the
translation table.  So the resulting table, if SetValues is used, contains:

    <Key>: WcTraceACT("key pressed (override)")\n

And, sorry to say, I think this was implemented incorrectly in the R4 Core
SetValues method.

Hello,

	Recently we were trying to work up a little piece of code that
would represent graphs for a project, and we wanted to present the
label for the vertical axis sideways.  Lo and behold, we discovered a
reference to a font called "rot-s16" that was is supposed to be in
the distribution from MIT (according to _Xlib Programming Manual_ by
Adrian Nye, volume 1 of The Definitive Guides to the X Window System,
see page 167, section 6.2.7).  I have looked through our directories
of both X11R4 and X11R5 and have not found this elusive font.  I was
hoping someone could direct me to where I could get a copy it, i.e.,
through an ftp site and directory location.

Thanks in advance for your help,
  David Armoza

Hello,
does anybody know how to connect X Windows and the Oracle RDBMS :
does a possibility exists to send a SQL-commando in the Xlib program to Oracle, and create, maintain and delete a database ?

Please send your comments to : fdm1@info.win.tue.nl

Are there some articles or books about this subject ?
