Summary: How do I display output from an application on 2 displays simultaneouls
Keywords: multi-display, display, multiple
Organization: Info Sci & Eng, University of Canberra, AUSTRALIA
Date: 10 Nov 92 09:24:26 GMT


I have written an application using X Windows and Motif for HP Apollo
and Sun workstations which I need to demonstrate.  I do not have access
to equipment to project these displays so I was hoping to get the output
from the application to display on 2 terminals simultaneously.  I would
sit at one terminal running the application while the other terminal
would face the audience and mimic my display in a slave-like fashion.

Does anyone know how I could accomplish this?

Please send e-mail to juanita@ise.canberra.edu.au

If it's a modern release of Irix, everything that draws on the display
is an X program.  Or at least such is my understanding of their
implementation; since I am not privy to full details, I could well be
wrong.  Perhaps some SGI person will be kind enough to give us the full
truth of the matter.

Why not?

If the display is CRT-based, you can't do more than one frame per
vertical retrace, but that's not to say you can't do all the crunching
in 1ms and then sit there idling for the rest of the vertical scan.  If
the display technology is something else (or, barely possibly, is a CRT
that has a kilohertz frame rate), there's no obvious reason why 1ms is
out of the question.

Hi,

I just had the same problem.  The program works fine.  The problem is
that the app-defaults file is not getting loaded.  The name of the
file is either:

  PixmapAthenaAD or
  PixmapMotifAD

What you need to do is move this file to some place where is can be
found.  Check out the environement variable XUSERFILESEARCHPATH it
should be in any good ook on Xt.

Basically you need to rename the file to Pixmap (Application Class
Name).  And place it in a directory where it can be found.

What I have is:

~/.defaults/Pixmap   -- The PixmapMotifAD file.

~/.bitmaps/Pixmap/*  -- The bitmaps for DownM, etc.

Then the environment variables:

XUSERFILESEARCHPATH=~/.defaults/%N  -- Where to find the app-defaults.

XBMLANGPATH=~/.bitmaps/%N/%B        -- Where to find the bitmaps.

The XBMLANGPATH may not work under Athena widgets.


Hope this helps, if you have any questions feel free to email me.  You
may also want to check out the book:

X Window System Toolkit by Asente & Swick

They discuss this on pgs. 666-667 and 859-860, among others.

Currently we are running X11R4 on a Sun 4/630 (SunOS 4.1.2).  We have NCD
Xterminals connecting to the 4/630.  The wtmp file does not have enteries
for the xterminals.  
The files Xstartup and Xreset are issueing the the sessreg command as:
sessreg -a[-d] -l $DISPLAY -x /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers -u none $USER.
This does not seem to be doing the loging into the wtmp file.
I can run sessreg by hand, and it will log a user into the wtmp file.

Hi, I've been trying for days now to start FrameMaker and get it to

Xterm-windoes there), but all my tries have been useless.

it wont undertstand if I put it in my .Xdefaults, it wont understand
xterms -xrm command, it wont even inherit workspace from an xterm
running in the other workspace. It will ALWAYS start in the workspace
where I am (perhaps it likes me and wants to be with me...)

Any suggestions?

You can use xmodmap to re-map the keys.  To find the keycode for a
particular key, press the key within the "xev" window.  Then choose
the appropriate keysyms for each modified key (unshifted and shifted).
For instance, the file you use with xmodmap may go as follows.

keycode 20 = 0xff30 0xff30
keycode 38 = 2 quotedbl
keycode 42 = 6 ampersand
...
keycode 47 = minus equal
keycode 48 = asciicircum asciitilde
...

For certain keysyms, you may have to use the hexadecimal equivalent
in keysymdef.h instead of the name (e.g. XK_Eisu_toggle -> 0xff30).

Hi,

I have xdm setup with the following configurn on X11R4 (no XDCMP) :

  /usr/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config   (describes session, error, server and resource files)
  /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers     (only local server; no foreign servers; no XDCMP)
  /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession     (merely execs $HOME/.xsession)
  /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xresources   (describes login box decorations and translations)

Permissions:

   -rw-r--r--  1 root          286 Nov 12 14:16 Xresources
   -rw-r--r--  1 root           24 Nov 12 10:55 Xservers

   -rw-r--r--  1 root            4 Nov 12 14:54 xdm-pid

When I invoke xdm and login as an ordinary user, Xsession is never execed.

I ran xdm in debug mode:

     # /usr/bin/X11/xdm -debug 9

After xdm is started:

      [...tonnes of stuff...]
      After OpenDisplay (:0)
      ManageSession :0
      Loading resource file
      name now :0

      [...]
      Done with authorization file /usr/lib/X11/xdm/auth-server

      (pause)

Messages after I login as a user:

    ...
    new is in place, go for it
    secureDisplay :0
    exec Xsession
    exec failed

That's it. catting xdm-errors shows a similar message:

    error (pid 373): Session execution failed /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession

What's wrong ?

Not really (you might try the MIT-SHM extension, but it's probably
not worth all the trouble).

You could avoid the need for repeated XDestroyImage calls by
reusing the XImage...calls to XGetImage after the first one
could be replaced by calls to XGetSubImage.

Hardly unique to X, it's a missfeature of most `malloc's. I presume X

Had an account where the system people had written a script to do a

There is a commercial product available called XAppeal which seems to be

Not being the original poster I can't say for sure, but this answer is
only approximate.  Back around OpenWindows 2.0 patch 100176-09, Sun
deliberately chose to stop incrementing the VendorRelease() field, so
it is now impossible to programmatically distinguish between patch
releases of the xnews server.  Before then they followed the same
"major*1000 + minor" convention used in IntrinsicP.h for XtVersion.

If you're trying to make your code conditionally work around some
specific bug in xnews (e.g. the Motif 1.2 crashes that are fixed by
patch 100444-31, or the continuing saga of XCopyPlane() failures) you
have no hope of succeeding -- you'll have to rely on your installation
instructions to convince clients to upgrade all possible xnews servers
to the desired patch level.

Try using your top-level widget as destination; it just may be
that the events aren't propagating to the appropriate widgets.

i.e. XtInstallAllAccelerators(topLevel, form);

If this doesn't work, then try installing accelerators for each
widget specifically whose actions you wish to augment.

	XtInstallAccelerators(form, button1);
