I use the version on export.lcs.mit.edu, contrib/vtwm-5.0.tar.Z, along
with the patch file also on export, contrib/vtwm-5.0.patch1.  I then
apply the following patch to build it in an R4 environment:

Subject: 24 bit TrueColor problem (a Stardent computer)
Organization: University of Lowell
Date: Tue, 12 Jan 1993 17:31:48 GMT

I'm having trouble using x on a Stardent (24 bit color)

The code works fine on Dec's

It apparently has trouble creating proper visuals and colormaps

Here's the relevant code:

    screen   = XDefaultScreen (display);
    parent   = XRootWindow    (display, screen);
    depth    = XDefaultDepth  (display, screen);
    planes   = XDisplayPlanes (display, screen);
    ncolors  = XDisplayCells  (display, screen);

    default_visual = DefaultVisual ( display, screen );

    switch ( default_visual->class ) {

    case PseudoColor:
      r = XMatchVisualInfo ( display, screen, depth, PseudoColor, &vis_info );
      break;
    case GrayScale:
      printf ( "GrayScale \n" );
      r = XMatchVisualInfo ( display, screen, depth, GrayScale, &vis_info );
      break;
    case DirectColor:
      printf ( "DirectColor \n" );
      r = XMatchVisualInfo ( display, screen, depth, DirectColor, &vis_info );
      break;
    case TrueColor:
/*
      r = XMatchVisualInfo ( display, screen, depth, TrueColor, &vis_info );
*/
      printf ( "TrueColor -> PseudoColor \n" );
      r = XMatchVisualInfo ( display, screen, depth, PseudoColor, &vis_info );
      break;
    default:
      printf ( " No visual found. \n");

    }
    if ( !r ) printf ( " Problem matching visual \n" );

    cmap = XCreateColormap ( display, parent, vis_info.visual, AllocAll );

    colors = (XColor *) malloc ( ncolors * sizeof (XColor) );

    colors = (XColor *) malloc ( ncolors * sizeof (XColor) );

    for (i=0;i<ncolors;i++) {
      colors[i].pixel = i;
      colors[i].red = colors[i].green = colors[i].blue = i*256;
      colors[i].flags = DoRed | DoGreen | DoBlue;
    }

    XStoreColors ( display, cmap, colors, ncolors);


The default visual is TrueColor, it was suggested that i use Pseudo anyway
hence the commented out XMatchVisual ( TrueColor )

Matching with PseudoColor however does print the (appropriate) error message
"problem matching visual", 
Both Pseudo and True result in 
X Protocol error:  BadValue, integer parameter out of range for operation
  Major opcode of failed request:  78 (X_CreateColormap)

I'd appreciate any help!

You're aware that the XView toolkit, version 3.0, and its corresponding
"olwm" window manager, are part of the X11R5 contributed software,
right?

I.e., you don't have to buy into Open Windows in its entirety to run

Has anyone had any experience using Workstations over serial lines  ?

It would be nice to be able to have dial up access to do support etc;

( Home working perhaps ?? )

I'm aware of simple dial-up giving terminal emulation but I am really           

interested in using X applications / NFS - I believe this can be done   

with SLIP | PPP to give IP over the thin wire and that Xremote | LBX

is available in X11R6 and Xvision.

        
It may also be desirable if the "remote" client were a portable

do any comments on the Tadpole Sparcbook would be of interest 

(or indeed intel portables running sunos perhaps ?? )

I suppose that the telecoms links would be key in such set-up

and would be especially keen to hear from anyone thats  
        
achieved reasonable response over public lines detailing

their set-up. (Modems , baud-rate etc)

There's a gotcha waiting to getcha here.  Don't forget that
X is asynchronous, so the error will not be reported until
the next time Xlib sends its queue of requests over to the server,
and the server crunches through them to the one containing
the huge pixmap.  In other words, it may be awhile before you
get this error.  If you're not careful, the error handler may
be removed before the error happens.
So you cannot remove the error handler until
you are sure the server has already passed the big pixmap.
Probably the easiest thing to do is not to remove the error handler.

Followup-To: comp.windows.x.apps
Distribution: na
Organization: Informix Software, Inc.

We are trying to put together a "standard desktop environment"
for a number of writers and editors. The basis will be Sparcs
running SunOS 4.1, X11R5, and the Motif Window Manager (mwm).

Besides an important application tool, all these users need to:
 * do UNIX command-line work as in xterm or cmdtool
 * edit ASCII documents as in xedit or textedit
 * read copious email
 * read net news

These are not naive users; indeed most would qualify as power users
from the standpoint of text editing and the use of email and shell
commands.  However (and this is a key point) none are programmers.  For
example few if any would be able to read a makefile or hack a shell
script other than .login/.cshrc (some couldn't do that much).

The desktop tools we've assembled so far are rather a mixed bag
including some X contributed programs, some Sun stuff (like mailtool
out of sunview via openwin), etc.  There are quite noticeable
inconsistencies between tools in the treatment of mouse selections,
keyboard focus, and the like, as well as outright bugs.

There are probably publishers of professional-quality tools of
these sorts for Motif, yes?  Where do they advertise?  How do we
find out about them?  And does anyone have suggestions or 
experiences with commercial software to share?  Please write;
I'll be glad to post a summary of what I get.

Please read the manual pages about fonts and xfig.  xfig only has available
to it the fonts that the X server provides.  Sometimes it will have to pick
one that is only CLOSE to the size you choose.  However, when you print the
figure (at least on a Postscript printer) it will give you the "real" size.

Thus, hand positioning for superscripts, etc., is problematic.

  We are considering developing a GUI application using CenterLine's
  'ViewCenter'. We need to provide business graphs and XRT/graph
  seems to have the features we require.
     
  The problem is that ViewCenter generates code which uses the OI toolkit,
   whereas XRT/graph needs to be used within a Motif application.
        
   Has anyone got any suggestions for either a workaround or alternative
   products that would be compatible?
           
   Our fallback option is to use X-Designer as a screen builder and
   integrate XRT/graph into the resultant C code. However, we then lose
   the advantage of the C++ classes generated by ViewCenter.
              
   A response by email would be appreciated.

    Announcing the release of Xnetlib ver. 3.3

    What it is -

      Xnetlib is a new version of netlib recently developed at the
      University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
      Unlike netlib, which uses electronic mail to process requests
      for software, xnetlib uses an X Window graphical user 
      interface and a socket-based connection between the user's
      machine and the xnetlib server machine to process software
      requests.  Xnetlib is available to anyone who has access to 
      the TCP/IP Internet.

      Xnetlib provides access to files and a whois style database 
      residing on the Netlib server at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
      Xnetlib also connects to two other xnetlib servers, one at
      Rice University, and the other at the Army Research Laboratory.
      Our intention is to release the xnetlib server code in a few
      months. 

      Xnetlib requires the Athena widget set (Xaw).

    How to get it -

      By anonymous ftp from cs.utk.edu in pub/xnetlib/xnetlib3.3.tar.Z

      By email, send a message to netlib@netlib.ornl.gov containing the line:
        send xnetlib.shar from xnetlib


    If you have any questions, please send mail to xnetlib@cs.utk.edu

The GX, unlike the CG3, uses a hardware cursor.  It is limited to 16x16-sized
cursors, sorry.  There is no "fix".

I was disappointed to find this out as well; I liked my Public Enemy gunsight
logo cursor on my 2 GS at work, but when I had a 1+ GX at home for awhile, I
couldn't use it.  I now have a SPARCstation-1 clone with a CG3 and I can use
it again ...
