#BTW, I am using VMS/DECWindows.
#

If you are working at the xlib level, then using the XSetWindowAttributes
structure set the override_redirect field to true.  This will cause the
window manager to leave the window alone.

At the Intrinsics level, after the widget is realized, use XChangeWindowAttributes
to set the override_redirect field to true.

Hi folks,

   I need such a program for a class of 25 IBM X-terminals we have hooked
to an RS-6000/550. The FAQ handles this in question/answer no. 86.
I got the two packages suggested. Big question: anyone managed to compile
xmx or shX under AIX ? Any tips are very much welcomed.

Thanks in advance,

For the life of me I can't get xdm working properly remote servers. The configuration all seems standard as far as man pages are concerned. The only thing radical is that I have no entries in /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers. In my understanding this is what you should do if you want prospective servers to enquire on the host using XDMCP. I have been trialing Tek, NCD and HCL-Exceed X-servers which all support XDCMP but I can only get sessions started currently using Telnet. I know that xdm works because if I add











 the ":0 local bla-bla-bla" line to Xservers the login window pops up on the host's console display.

I know the answer will be simple, but your help will be appreciated

I am trying to install the MIT distribution of X11R4 on my 9000/370 running
HP-UX 7.0.  I have successfully compiled the libraries, server and clients,
but I'm having a problem when I try to do "make install".  The first few lines
of error messages look like this :

I saw the note in hp.cf that told me to install util/scripts/bsdinstall.sh
before trying to install.  This script exists.  Is there something else I
have to do?

I feel like the solution is pretty simple, but it has managed to elude me so
far.  Anybody want to help?

p.s. I know this belongs on comp.sys.hp, but my newsfeed won't let me post
     to that group.

Hi,

I have a problem. I'm just installing a SUN Sparc 1+ (standalone).
I want to run X-Windows and OpenWindows (some people like this, some
like that).

After compiling and installing X-Windows (LD_LIBRARY_PATH unset),
I got one problem :

1. xload needs /dev/kmem
--> xload is suid root
2. xload needs libXt.so.4.10/libXt.sa.4.10 (for xclock and so on)
--> so : these libraries have to be in the build-in directories
    (/usr/lib, /usr/5lib and /usr/local/lib)
3. OpenWindows needs another version of these libraries
--> so : these libraries may not be in the build-in directories

To change xload into set-group-id kmem, does result in the same
contradiction.

Are there any solutions ?

Thanks for all help
Thomas

the transport is the key.  DECnet is the default transport, but we also
support the TCP/IP transport.  Depending on what's on the other end of

Not really.  Some of your C include statements will be different and file

The problem with xloadimage is, that it believes the root-window
would be always windowid=0x0. That's not true, on my NCD's with twm,
i always get 0x28 instead. xsetroot handles that correctly, but xloadimage
didn't. If i tell xloadimage the windowid, it works.

Try "xwininfo" on the root, and you would see your windowid.

Message-Id: <34332@ttidca.TTI.COM>

I am writing a program that displays a B+W image and performs a system call to
xwd to save the image into an xwd format file. The problem is that , without 
looking at the code to xwd/xwud that closely, it looks like xwd is always
writing out a dump file that is 8 bitplanes deep, even if the display is 1-bit deep.

This application  needs to write possibly hundreds of xwd files, and am wondering 
(before I go too much deeper :) if it would be worth my time to "compress"  the 
bits produced by my program. ie; if the XImage area store in the xwd file (from 
the xwd program) looked something like:

  bytes:    00 01  00 01  00 01   .....

can I write my application to store the XImage as:
   bits:    010101  ....

given that the xwd header is set up right (header.bits_per_pixel == 1 && 
	header.pixmap_depth == 1)??

Or do I just have to live with the 7 extra (useless) color-planes?

Thank you for any information.

  Howdy,

  Platform: DEC VAXstation 3100, ultrix 3.1, gcc-2.1, X11R5pl10.

  I am working on porting X11R5 to ultrix 3.1 on DEC VAXstations. Since ultrix
3.1 is BSD 4.2, and not at all ANSI, this turns out to be a pain.

  The initial problem is that ./mit/config/imake.c #include's stdlib.h, which is
not part of ultrix 3.1. I can get around this initially by modifying imakemdep.h
so that X_NOT_STDC_ENV is defined. This makes imake.c skip stdlib.h. In fact I
had to use "BOOTSTRAPFLAGS="-DX_NOT_STDC_ENV" to get the stupid thing to compile
during make World.

  Unfortunately, during the make imake is made again, and this time the
BOOTSTRAPFLAGS are not used. The result: imake fails to build, and make World
fails.

  Now to the question: Is it worth "fixing" X11R5 to get it to come up on ultrix
3.1?

  I have X11R4, but some things have a hard time compiling (due to lack of
patches?). Worse, I don't want to maintain different versions of X on different
platforms.

  Eventually the VAXstations will be running ultrix 4.2, which is what
./mit/config/ultrix.cf assumes in the first place. I have no control over when,
but if it is "very" difficult to configure X11R5 for ultrix 3.1, I will wait.

  Thanks for any help.

    Cheers,

    Tom McConnell

This is a hardware issue.   RGB 100,50,200 will simply not look the

Not much of a clue, huh, Mark?  Of course, I know it can't work over
the network, distributed shared memory is an interesting research case
but not yet available in SunOS :-) That's not my point.  The docs for
the XShmQueryExtension() test seem to claim that it will only return
true if it can be used.  That should include a test that the client
and server are on the same machine.  It does not!

So again the question.  Is there a simple test one can make to ensure
that an XShmAttach() request will not result in a protocol error?  I
guess I will submit a bug report, but it would be nice if I had a
simple, portable fix.

Hi,
	We are running MetroLink's X11/R4 and Motif 1.1.3 on Interactive
UNIX 3.0 on a 386/33 PC.  With the NumLock key on, Motif widgets ( namely,
the XmText, XmCommand, XmSelection ) will not recognise the number keys on
the Number Pad.  It seems like Motif is treating the number keys as cursor
keys because the number '5' works.  The 'Enter' key on the NumberPad doesn't
work either.  We've got a translation table from MetroLink and got most of the
NumberPad numbers to work in XmText widgets, but the Enter key still doesn't
work.  The XmCommand and XmSelection widgets still will not recognise the
translations for the 2 and 8 keys maybe because XmCommand and XmSelection
widgets have the uparrow ( the 2 key ) and the down arrow( the 8 key ) defined
in their acceleration table.  
	The question is :
	Can we disable or override the key accelerators to make the 2 and 8 
keys work?  How can we make the "Enter" key on the number pad work like the
'return' or 'enter' key on the main keyboard?  I've tried all sorts of 
translations and still nothing works.  I've tried the method mentioned in
the Motif FAQ to do a 'XtSetKeyTranslation' to de-install the Motif 
translations. This method worked but we would like to avoid the hassle of
redefining all the key translations and violate the Motif Style Guidelines.

	Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

There is no guarantee that this will do anything useful.  If the user 
is moving the mouse, there are race conditions involved -- how do you 
know the mouse hasn't moved out of the window by the time you've started 
up, issued your XQueryPointer, and gotten a reply from the server?  
Moreover, if the user uses a window manager with a click-to-type focus
model, the mouse may never have been in your terminal emulator window
at all.

There is no really portable way to do what you want to do here.  If you
*KNOW* that the terminal emulator is going to be xterm, you can take
advantage of the fact that xterm sticks its top-level Window id into
an environment variable called WINDOWID, and do a getenv from within
your program.  Be prepared for the getenv to return NULL, which it will
if you're using any other terminal emulator.

Hi Netters!

Can some somebody mail me a rough algorithm as to how do a keyword
search facility in a XmScrolled Text ot XmText widget.

The functionality should be as follows:

When the user types in a key word and selects Forward/backward search,
that word should be searched for and highlighted.

Thanks in advance...

I'm using an HP/Apollo 425 running SR10.3. When I type:

	> xsetroot -cursor <bitmap_file> <mask_file>

and both the cursor and mask file have x/y parameters larger
than 32 bits, the cursor image gets truncated to 32x32. Is
there an Xdefault parameter that I'm missing somewhere??
The window manager doesn't seem to make a difference...

Override redirect.  This is a generally anti-social thing to do, though.
