Has anyone out there know of a way to modify the pixel memory
on an RS6000 running X11 3.2 (X11R5)?  

The reason I am asking is that someone in my office played 
a little joke by writing a message to my screen by hand
with a mouse. As I was sitting at my desk, this message
appeared as the person was writing it and I am assuming it was
writing the pixel memory because the message went across the
entire screen covering what ever was under it (i.e. not just
in one window or just the background).

The text looked like a free hand drawing with a thick "brush"
like you could create in a "paint" program.  I am guessing that
someone in my office has a program that allows them to perform
this "magic" and I wanted to know if anyone has heard of this
before.

If you have any clues to my little mystery, please reply by
Email since I don't normally read this group.

Hi,

I have a simple problem which I am able to fix for couple of weeks. I am using X11 and I rlogin to machine which is NeXT. How canI set up my display environment so that I can view NeXt applications (NeXTApps) ? Is there any utility to do that ?

After disabling the build of PEX, I have been able to build and install X11R5 on a Sun 386i.
However, when I invoke xinit, all I get is a very narrow band across the top of the screen. I 
can see what looks like the mouse cursor follow my mouse movements within the band.

I have verified that the X server and an xterm are running.
I am able to run the X programs (xterm, xcalc, etc.) from a sparc rlogged onto the 386i. It would
appear that these all built correctly.

Has anyone successfully built the X11R5 for the 386i?

Does anyone have any ideas what the problem might be and/or what I should try next?

On IBM RS6000 machines (grayscale and color), the list
of allowed depths for a screen only has one item, corresponding
to either a depth of 4 or 8. In particular, depth 1 is not
listed. The X protocol (under Screen Information in the 
Connection Startup section) states that "A pixmap depth of one
is always supported and listed,..." The people at IBM respond,
"Since depth 1 is always supported, there is no reason to list
it for each screen." Is this an acceptable interpretation of
the protocol?

We developed a set of X applications that run on various Unix platforms.
The following problem had occurred ocassionally on Sun running OW3.0,
IBM running AIX 3.2 and DECstation 5000 running Ultrix 4.2.

A user started the window system an our applications and left them
running continuously for about 2-3 days.  Suddenly, some colors on
the screen changed.  It seemed that the default colormap had been changed
and sometimes even the RGB values for black and white pixels had been
changed.

* No other programs were running besides ours.

* Either Mwm or Olwm is used.

* Each of our programs has two verisons: Motif (statically linked
  to Motif 1.1.1) and OPEN LOOK (statically linked to OLIT 2.5).

* None of the programs installs private colormap.  They all use the
  default colormap.

* Each program allocates one read/write color cell (using
  XAllocColorCells(..., 1)) once during start up.  This RGB value of
  this color cell is being changed (using XStoreColor) infrequently
  during the lifetime of the program.

* Some programs make a lot of calls to XAllocColor().

* Memory and swap space are sufficient.

* No X protocol error or warning messages.

* The colormap should have plenty of free cells left in a 8-bit frame
  buffer.

I wrote a simple program to check the number of free cells in the
default colormap, it does somethig like this:

   count = 0;
   while (XAllocColorCells(..., 1))  /* while successfully get 1 r/w cell */
      count++;
   printf("%d\n", count);
   exit(0);

I ran this program immediately after the problem mentioned above had
occurredon an IBM and it caused the X server (R4) to crash.  I do not
have a chance to run this test on other machines yet.

Most likely the problem is caused by our programs.  But how can
the default colormap be changed while our programs do not do things
like XInstallColormap?  Why did the X server crash?

I really appreciate if anybody can help me on this.  This is 
EXTREMELY URGENT.  Sorry for the cross-posting.

In addition to learning from Unix's mistakes, and in addition to the
considerable installed base of DOS (and especially MS-Windows) users, some of
the other advantages of NT will be:

    -	Learned from VMS's mistakes (from all appearances, NT is Dave Cutler's
	new, improved VMS)
    -	Multiple operating environments, e.g. DOS, Windows, Posix, OS/2
    -	Multiple file systems
    -	Multiple protected subsystems in general

Technical advantages aside, the fact that NT is *the* upgrade path for
MS-Windows is quite enough to make it a brilliant success.  No flames from
OS/2 advocates, please.

  I re-compiled cmdtool using my RS/6000 port of XView-3.0, and cmdtool works.
Pascal Meheut offered to look into it (he will be at IBM), and I wanted to see
what the failure mode was. Surprise! it worked.

  Apparently something significant has changed in the last couple of months,
but I don't know what. I am guessing one of the various AIX fixes that have
been applied made cmdtool happy.

  In any case, as far as I know there are no problems with the RS/6000 port of
XView-3.0 using my patches in

    export.lcs.mit.edu:/contrib/xview3/Fixes/xview3_rs6k_unofficial.patch.Z

No.  He's asking about SVR3, not SVR4.  XFree86 has shared libraries for
SVR4, but not for SVR3 (yet).  This is being actively worked by several
of our beta testers.  Unfortunately, it wasn't ready in time for XFree86
1.1; there was so much other new stuff we wanted to get it out the door.
We expect that XFree86 1.2 will have SVR3 shared libraries; in fact the
schedulre for XFree86 1.2 will probably be designed around when the
SVR3 shared library stuff is ready.

I'm not directly involved, so I don't know where things stand right now.
I do know that a beta libX11_s is being tested, and the other libraries
are being created.  Stay tuned.

Hi X-perts,

I thinj I found a bug in DevGuide v.3. It's not
a matter of pride - the whole world full of bugs,
I just need this application to work properly.

The problem is: I have a single frame with single
panel which has single drag/drop site. The corresponding
.G file is attached below, but everyone can develop
such an application in exactly ten seconds. All you
should do - is to design two bitmaps 32x32 ("normal"
and "busy") and two cursors 16x16 ("drag" and "accept").

In test mode site works fine - it displays normally "normal"
image, "busy" image while processing, etc. But when I save
.G file, run gxv and make - site has no "normal" image and
does not allow drag from the site. While dropping onto, however,
it behaves properly: displays "busy" image and printf's message.

What's the matter of such a behavior? Any clues would be
appreciated.
	Yuri

Yeah, something like the sys admin tool on Irix would be very useful --
I'd like to know the results too.

Or is there a "PC-TOOLS" kind of application? Such thing would be

Agreed.

Well, actually, it's not possible (unless you go around Xlib
or follow some other peculiar route to the X protocol).

>For example:

First of all, XChangeGC doesn't return anything as
a function value...if you're actually getting back
a valid GC pointer using this statement, it's
strictly an accidental side-effect of the register
allocation in the compiler you're using.  Don't do
this.


Secondly, it's perfectly valid to issue a sequence
like this:

  gc_2 = gc_1;
  XChangeGC (dpy, gc_2,...);

What's happening is gc_1 and gc_2 refer to the
same gc.  No new GC gets created.

>/* OR */
>XCopy(XtDisplay(widget), gc_1, GCXxxx | GCXxxx, gc_2);

I never heard of XCopy.  I assume you mean
XCopyGC.  XCopyGC requires both GCs to have
already been created ahead of time.

But when I leave X386. The video board is getting out of sync.
This can only be fixed by rebooting the system.

I have a local video bus (H-Host4000, et4000 chip).

Does any one have any Idea. I thought that Xfree86 (1.1) was supposed to solve
this problem. The card works fine for X11R4 (When I use dot clocks that
are half the calculated ones).

Xfree86 was compiled with gcc 2.2.2 (-m486 -O2)

Hi fellow netters

I have a small program that basically consists of two windows.
The "Main" window is for logging entries that are made in a
"popup" window.  The popup window is supposed to come up periodically
as a result of a timeout or some other event. The popup window
was created as a transientShellWidgetClass by XtVaCreatePopupShell,
with the toplevel created by XtVaAppInitialize as its parent.

The problem is that this program is working under every window manager
except MWM.  When the program is run under MWM, and the "main" window
is iconified, the popup window will never popup until the main window
is deiconified.

Any Suggestions?  

Thanks in advance

If you have the X source, it's in mit/lib/X/XlibInt.c.  In R5 MIT made

When will standard colormaps (and other "by convention" features like wm
colormap installing) be support to the point where they are somewhat
useful?
