Which cut buffer?  There are ten of them.  And none of them are
selections of any sort, including PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD.

In any case, it's none of the window manager's business to meddle with
selections and cut buffers.

If Framemaker doesn't claim the PRIMARY selection when you select text
in whatever the documented way is, it's buggy, and you should submit a
bug report, and unless you have the source, hope the vendor feels like
being nice to you.  (Okay, perhaps that's a bit strong.  It's possible
that it was (mis)configured by whoever installed it to use whatever it
is using rather than PRIMARY or CLIPBOARD or whatever.)

Env: Sun Sparc1+, SunOS 4.1.2, X11R5 Patch (> 10), Motif 1.1.3, /usr/bin/cc.
I have implemented an animated cursor to show that I am doing a 
long computation using XtAddTimeOut.
When the lengthy computation starts, I animate the cursor, going from
cursor 1 to cursor 2 to cursor 3 to cursor 1 and so on.
If during the lengthy computation, no events are generated in the 
application window, the lenght of the computation is increased
(depending on the animation rate) by about one order of magnitude.
On the other hand, if I sit there and continously move the mouse
while the computation is going on, the slow down in the computation
is close to negligeable.
Any clarification is greatly appreciated.

Does it work if you give B's address instead of its name?  Try using
numeric addresses for telnet and X display names; that may work.  If
so, it's just a problem with name->address resolution, so go yell at
your local administrators about it.

If not...

Of course.

Have you actually tried this, or are you guessing based on inability to
telnet by name?  If you have tried it, or if you try it and it does
indeed fail to work....

What you need is a small program to run on C, that accepts connections
and in turn connects to A, forwarding stuff back and forth.  If this
program were on C, listening for connections on the port used by
display 25, say (which means port 6025), then you would tell B that
you're using C:25 as your display.  B then connects to the little
daemon on C, which in turn connects to the real display on A, and
everything works.

I actually have tried this, and it does work.  You may have to play
with xhost and/or xauth, but it is certainly not out of the question.

The program to run on C is a simple little thing.  I have two programs
that can do it; one is specifically designed for X, the other is more
general but requires more knowledge of what goes on under the hood.
The X one is up for anonymous ftp from larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu
(132.206.1.1) in X/xfwd.c; the other one is games/muck/aux/fwd.c on
that same machine.  Neither one is very well documented, but they're
small - 209 and 134 lines, respectively - so UTSLing is perhaps not out
of the question.

Grumble, grumble...ok, after searching every bloody book on X that I have, I
still cannot find an obvious answer to this question:

I want to send an event (ClientMessage) to a window. I've added the event
handler to the window with XtAddEventHandler and I'm sending the event via
XSendEvent.

Now, I'd like to send the ClientMessage event because I simply want the window
to update its info (from a database) when I tell it to. Since no other event
seems to fit the bill, ClientMessage was selected. The problem is that I don't
know what event mask to use in the XtAddEventHandler() or XSendEvent() calls -
there isn't a mask for ClientMessage since *every* window should be able to
get this event.

So what event mask should I be using? NULL, NoEventMask, or what? Arrrgh!

No, it can stop parsing the command line only if it can recognize the

that no more arguments should be parsed.

Please Help.

Trying to enter the "goodbye, world" program from "X Window System Toolkit",
by Asente & Swick.

It says,

   #include "Pushbutton.h"

I can't find this file anywhere. Is it a misprint? When I used MenuButton.h
instead, I got an error from "pushbuttonWidgetClass". When I changed that
to "menuButtonWidgetClass", I get errors from the server "can't find button
named "menu". When I changed "button" to "menu" in the XtCreateManagedWidget
call, the program quit when I pressed the quit button, but I got the error:

   Error: XtPopup requires a subclass of shellWidgetClass

Also, what to do about the start-up messages:

   Warning: Widget class VendorShell version mismatch (recompilation needed):
     widget 11004 vs. intrinsics 11003.
   <etc.>

p.s., I was just barely able to get this program to link, but that's another
story. At any rate, it finally did with no ld errors. yaay.

Thanx if you can help. I don't see anything about this in the faq-file.

Hi,

a few weeks ago, i posted a request about using the speaker of NCD X-terminals.
I got only two responses, which basically used the xset command to alter the pitch and
duration of the bell and sending ^G.

UNFORTUNATLY that is not what i am looking for (but thanks for the response).

To be more specific:

How do i play .au files on a NCD x-term speaker? Is there any way to do that?

I'm using NCD 19 on a SUN SparkStationII, X11R4, SunOS4.1.1.

Please reply via email 

thanx a lot

For those who are experiencing problems linking X applications on SunOS,

binary patch to their OpenWindows product - no source code patch to the

For those who want to use the MIT X11R4 libraries, I have developed
a source code patch file which you can find on export.lcs.mit.edu as:

    contrib/X11R4_sunos4.1.2_patch_version3.Z

This patch retrofits into X11R4 some changes made in the X11R5 release
to get around the problem.

-------

Subject:  94)  What is this strange problem building X clients on SunOS 4.1.2?

        In SunOS 4.1.2 Sun fixed a shared-library bug in ld which conflicts
with the way X11R4 builds the shared Xmu library, causing these symbols to be
undefined when building some X11 clients:
        _get_wmShellWidgetClass
        _get_applicationShellWidgetClass
Compiling "-Bstatic -lXmu -Bdynamic" appears to work.

To solve the problem if you are using OpenWindows 3.0 (X11R4-based Xt), please
contact your local Sun office and request the following patches:

Hi,

I posted yesterday asking why the example on page 28 of Asente-Swick (X
Window System Toolkit) is not working for me. I couldn't find Pushbutton.h

One very kind person from Taiwan (thanks) emailed me that example sources
for the book are available from anonymous ftp, as mentioned on page 929.
Having picked these sources up, I trieed to make the stuff, and not even the
first thing compiles.

I'm getting all sorts of errors, e.g.,
   gcc -O -c -I/usr/openwin/share/include BarDisplay.c

   In file included from BarDisplaP.h:32, from BarDisplay.c:29:

   GraphDispP.h:45: parse error before `}'
   GraphDispP.h:45: warning: data definition lacks type or storage class

Surely someone has got the program on page 28 working by now. Will anyone
who has a clue please email it to me? Or post it, it's ok with me either way.

I know the faq file says not to jump in and answer every question just because
it's an easy one, but I really wouldn't mind even the most inane suggestions.

I wrote one of those, but it uses the NeWS side of the OW3 server,
I also did a port a while ago to make it work with any Display postscript

The advantages over Ghostview are that you dont have to manage another

Hi,

I think your problem is your Window Manager and not your X programming.
If you install different colormaps into a window, there will happen nothing
until the Window Manager decides to use this new colormap and installs it to
the server.

I install the cmaps directly to the server to get it running (for neat
fade-effects for instance).

Some WM's also complain about users installing new server cmaps (what is
in fact no ICCCM compliant feature), but thats another story.
