I posted this a while ago, but found out recently that our new posting
facilities were broken.  Since I haven't heard back from anyone, I'm
assuming it didn't get out ...

I recently bought a Casio BOSS, and grabbed and compiled the Boss1.0c
program from an old archive site.

I've chatted with the author, who says there are people working on
updating it to handle the newer models of the Boss (I have a 5300)

So, if any of you are reading this, please get in touch.  I was thinking
of doing it myself (been chatting with Casio, still waiting for stuff
from them) but would rather contribute to a group effort (more time
efficient, all around) or be a beta-tester :-)

    I am having a problem with xdm on a IBM RS6000 (AIX3.2.2).  When
running in "debug" mode, everything appears normal, and the X terminals
work as expected. However, when running in the default daemon mode, the
login window appears on the X terminal, but upon logging in, the login
window disappears, but no X session is started. After 20 seconds, the
login window re-appears. Any pointers on what to look for, or specific
compile options required would be appreciated.

I had a problem with resources with xmh for a long time.  I was using 

   Xmh*accelerators: #override\n\
       Meta<Key>c:     XmhComposeMessage()\n

for a long time and this would mess up all my other key bindings.  I then got a
hint to use

Xmh*accelerators: #override\n\
        :Meta<Key>c:    XmhComposeMessage()\n

(note the ':')

which worked great, until I switch to X11R5, then it went back to its old broken
way of functioning.  Is there a better way to rebind the meta-lowercase 'c' to
ComposeMessage in my resource definitions.  I've tried using editres to examine
the current settings, but editres does not seem to have that feature.

Thanks,

Reply-To: veiss@cbmvax.commodore.com (Jeff Veiss - Staff)

First, let me describe what we're running:

Sun Sparc ELC
SunOS Release 4.1.1
MIT's X11R5 patch 19
Xaw library with the contrib directory patches.
All programs are being run off of an automounted disk
   (if that matters)

It all started when I tried to execute xterm and it didn't
want to find the required shared libraries, particularly
libXaw.so.5.0 even though the libraries were in the
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable and were in the
/etc/ld.so.cache file.  However, if I su'ed to root,
xterm worked fine.  For example:

   % which xterm
   /usr/bin/X11/xterm
   % ldd `which xterm`
   ldd: /usr/bin/X11/xterm execution failed due to signal 11 
   % sum `which xterm`
   11047   200
   % xterm
   ld.so: libXaw.so.5: not found
   % su
   Password:
   # which xterm
   /usr/bin/X11/xterm
   # ldd `which xterm`
        -lXaw.5 => /usr/lib/X11/lib/libXaw.so.5.0
        -lXmu.4 => /usr/lib/X11/lib/libXmu.so.4.10
        -lXt.4 => /usr/lib/X11/lib/libXt.so.4.10
        -lXext.4 => /usr/lib/X11/lib/libXext.so.4.10
        -lX11.4 => /usr/lib/X11/lib/libX11.so.4.10
        -lc.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.6
   # sum `which xterm`
   11047   200
   # xterm
   {and it runs fine}
   ^C#

So I investigated further.  I tried recreating the /etc/ld.so.cache
file by deleting it and using ldconfig.  I even tried rebooting
my workstation.  Then I looked at the executable a little closer:

   # ls -l xterm
   -rwsr-xr-x  1 root     204800 Oct  1 15:37 xterm*
   # chmod 755 xterm
   # ls -l xterm
   -rwxr-xr-x  1 root     204800 Oct  1 15:37 xterm*
   #^D%
   % xterm
   {and it runs fine}

Apparently, the problem was the setuid bit in the permissions.  xterm
was installed following the instructions in the RELNOTES.TXT file
(make World ..., make install).  Does the suid bit need to be set
for xterm?  It seems to run ok without it.  Also, the same exact problem
is occurring with xload except with the setgid bit.  Unfortunately,
this one needs to be set to access the /dev/kmem device.  Any explanations
for this phenomena and how to fix xload would be most appreciated.

Please reply via E-mail and I'll post the results.

All I need to do is open a window and draw some points in it.  Maybe lines,
but that's really not necessary.  Allocating colors would be nice too.

Is there a really simple program out there I could use as a template?

I am practicing Xt with Athena widgets with the examples from 
mit/examples/Xaw of X11R4. They worked fine on SUN SPARCstation, but not on 
the DECstation 3100 running Ultrix 4.2.

When compiling the xhw.c file on the DECstation, the following warning came out:

	ccom: Warning: xhw.c, line 61: illegal combination of pointer and 
	integer, op = fallback_resources, 0, ((Cardinal)0));

which was related to the XtappInitialize.

When Compiling the popup.c file, the following errors came out:


	ccom: Error: popup.c, line 106: syntax error
      	XtPointer client_data, call_data;
     	 --------^
	ccom: Error: popup.c, line 145: XtPointer undefined

          XawDialogAddButton(dialog, "ok", ColorTheButton, (XtPointer) dialog);
      ----------------------------------------------------------------------^

	.
	.
	.

which are related to XtPointer.

Also the cpp was redefining a lot of Xt stuff during the compilation. 

I learn that Digital distributes a different Xt (Maybe also Xlib) from MIT X's.
How can I resolve this problem? I do like to write some code based on the
examples from mit/examples/Xaw, unless some clear document is available for the 
changes in Digital's Xt.


Any suggestions and comments from experienced Xt and DECstation users is 
appreciated!

The resource name is called orientation and it takes values of
horizontal and vertical. Beware though that there are 6 panes to that
window so you may need to do something a little fancy to get it to
work. If you have editres then I suggest that you use it to play with
values.

Ya.  It's available as part of the TCP/IP-for-OS/2 product available from
IBM, knows as PMX.  The latest version of this TCP/IP package is 1.2.1, plus
some CSD's recently made available (some of which can be found on
ftp-os2.nmsu.edu for anonymous FTP).  PMX supports up to X11R5.

I used the PMX server extensively during a work term, and found it quite
usable -- fast, easy-to-use.  The only drawbacks(?) were that the window
manager could not be changed, and anything dealing with the root window was
ignored:  the XWindows clients are displayed as OS/2 Windows; ie.,
Presentation Manager is your window manager, and retains control of the root
window graphics.

TCP/IP for OS/2 is generally quite slick.  Highly recommended IMHO.  I'm not
sure of the price tag.

Mail me with more specific questions, if you like.

Alex

I am trying to use the Athena Widgets on X11R5.
I created a form widget in which I dynamically create a number
of child forms that are mouse sensitive. see below

            --------------------------------------------
            |parent form                               |
            |                                          |

            |       |       child form 1       |       |
            |       ----------------------------       |
            |                                          |

            |                                          |
            |       ----------------------------       |
            |       |       child 3            |       |
            |       ----------------------------       |
            |------------------------------------------|


I want to be able to insert these children forms in any order.
I set the Insert_Postion procedure for the parent form to always insert
at the top (as was described in "X Window System Toolkit" book by
Paul J. Asente & Ralph R Swick).  Now when I create the children forms,
it insert them on top of each other. 
However, if I get  the XtNchildren WidgetList of the parent form, and print the IDs to
the screen, They are order in the manner I specified.
How can I get the parent form to draw its children in the order they are
specified in its WidgetList of XtNchildren ??
and How come when I delete one of its children it unmaps it but does not 
redraw  all of its children?  I delete the child using Unrealize and Destroy Xt functions.
It waits for me to create ANOTHER child before refreshing the screen. I tried to Do XtRealize
 for the parent widget and I tried Managechildren and Unmap then Map, Nothing seems to work. 

The children are created using createmanagedwidget.
I can not get the parent form to refresh the display right after the deletion of a child.

The HX framebuffer card can also work in "dumb" mode. (slower though) In this

(1) Make a pixmap the same size as the rectangle you want to capture.
(2) Clear the pixmap.
(3) Use XCopyArea to copy the window to the pixmap.
(4) If you get a NoExpose event, the copy was clean.  Use
    XGetImage to grab the image from the pixmap.
(5) If you get one or more GraphicsExpose events, the copy
    wasn't clean, and the x/w/width/heigh members of the 
    GraphicsExpose event structures tell you the parts of
    the pixmap which aren't good.
(6) Get rid of the pixmap; it probably takes a lot of memory.

It's difficult -- many consider it impossible.  See the FAQ.  Your
problem is probably not related to the window manager anywawy.

The original code (Which I didn't quote completely) used XLookupColor
followed by XAllocColor, which has basically the same restriction.  So
I still think that the short routine I proposed does the same thing as
Rainer's code (minus the fprintf output).

This can be done by creating a pixmap and setting the border pixmap of the
window to it.

I need to call an action procedure that is associated with a widget. For
example  fred() in my-widget. I intended to do this using
    XtCallActionProc(my-widget,"fred",FALSE,NULL,0)  say. However I
found out that my release of X is older than X11R4 and the XtCallActionProc
is not in the Xt library. Rather that wait till my system is updated can
anyone suggest an alternative procedure or method equivalent to the above.
System is IBM RS6000 320 AIX 3.1.5 AIXwindows
Thanks in advance.
