	Hi there !


	I'm trying to receive events while keeping the shift+left button
down. I want to continue receiving those events while I'm moving the
mouse around (with the shift+left button still down ...).

	So far I've tried using :

	Shift<Btn1Down>,<Btn1Motion> -> I get the first event but nothing
after ....

	Shift<Btn1Motion> doesn't seem to work -> I get a code dumped
in BindActions :(


Is there a way to do it ?
Or what I'm doing wrong ?
Did I miss something ?

Any hints are welcome :)

Thanx in advance !!

Newsgroups: comp.windows.x

I'd like to make a "strong" X client that can detect the lost of the
connection with the X server and try to open a new one.

To do so, I trap several Unix signals (mainly SIGPIPE) and the X
errors (with XSetErrorHandler and XSetIOErrorHandler); the handling
routines just set a global variable. Before using the connection I
check it with XNoOp + XSync. But there is a problem: XSync loops
forever !!!

XSync calls GetEmptyReq, which calls _XFlush, which loops (see code
below).

Is this a bug or a feature ?
Is there another way to do it ?

Thanks for your help.

[ from XlibInt.c ]

_XFlush (dpy)
	register Display *dpy;
{
	register long size, todo;
	register int write_stat;
	register char *bufindex;

	if (dpy->flags & XlibDisplayIOError) return;

[ no IO error yet, so it will not return ]

	size = todo = dpy->bufptr - dpy->buffer;
	bufindex = dpy->bufptr = dpy->buffer;
	while (size) {
	    errno = 0;
	    write_stat = WriteToServer(dpy->fd, bufindex, (int) todo);

[ the write fails with a SIGPIPE signal, so write_stat < 0 ]

	    if (write_stat >= 0) {
		size -= write_stat;
		todo = size;
		bufindex += write_stat;
	    } else if (errno != EINTR) {
		/* Write failed! */
		/* errno set by write system call. */
		_XIOError(dpy);

[ the _XIOError just raises the XlibDisplayIOError flag and calls the handler ]
[ the IO error handler just sets a global variable, so size is still non-zero ]

	    }
	}
	dpy->last_req = (char *)&_dummy_request;
}

If it truly is a problem with your X setup, not your client program,
then it is almost certainly in your server, not Xlib or Motif.

It is certainly possible that text strings - particularly non-image
text - with unusual GC functions don't work right.  However, it also
seems likely to me that you're doing something wrong.  If you have a
simple test program you can mail me, I'll be glad to see if it works
here....

Someone asked for a parser for mathematical equations on the net
about two weeks ago. This just came to my attention. Since I do
not know his e-mail address , I am posting this in hopes that he
will see it. This from a package called dstool which does
wonderful dynamical systems simulation using xview3 and ow3.
Even tho' I have ported xview3 to concurrent I have not tried
it on a concurrent yet. But I think I will..Enjoy

----INCLUDED MESSAGE 9trimmed)------------------------------------------------------------
A new release of dstool is now on the ftp server macomb.tn.cornell.edu. 

Below is a description:

------

Version 1.1 of dstool contains useful new features, but is primarily a 
bug fixing release. 
..................
Major new features present in the release are:

	a) A Poincare section mode in the orbits panel. Layered on top of 
	the standard dstool event stopping code, Poincare sections can be
	computed  with respect to surfaces that are unions of level sets
	of phase space variables or auxiliary functions. The mode is selected
	from the "Stopping Condition" choice field of the orbits panel.

	b) A Parser window to allow input of dynamical systems without 
	recompilation. The parser also generates dstool model files 
	which can then be compiled for faster performance. Use of the 
	parser is selected from the models menu of the 	command panel. 
	Documentation is in the directory $DSTOOL/contrib/parserwin/doc, 
	and there is a man page in $DSTOOL/man

...etc....

#hightlights:
#
	[code fragment deleted]

#Now, the XGetVisualInfo() call is always successful, and finds a 24-bit

I suspect the problem is with the XSetWindowAttributes structure.  If it
is incorrect, then, it will cause a BadMatch parameter.  You might also try
Xscope to see the X11 packet trace and look at the values of the Create
Window request.

You could do this without making *any* changes to the program

Yes, but the application rather rudely insisted on ringing the bell at
maximum volume regardless of what the user requested.  The second
argument to XBell should almost always be 0, which means to use the
volume the user has requested.  Passing -100 means minimum volume
regardless of what the user has set; passing 100 means maximum.

No.  If anything, the call to XBell() is.

You needn't use the mouse to move youe desktop window. There are several

That's the trouble if you don't have Imake! Well, as I learned just

Hi!

It's probably a dumb question but I will ask it anyway.
I need to do some sort of menu window in X as well as some other text
windows. But when I looked in The Book I found that doing it in "pure X"
is very boring and hard (for me). I am nost sure there must be an easier
way to do menus! Like a toolkit or something. Can somebody point me
in the right direction please.
  If it helps, I work in twm, on HP X11R4, and write in C.

Thanks,

Hi All,

Pardon me if this has been discussed before, but I do
not normally read this group. I am also an X novice so
please have mercy on me. With that out of the way,
perhaps I can get some help.

I am having problems with my X server if there are 32 
files open when I try to invoke the server. I know why
I am having problems, I just don't know what to do.

In the source os/connection.c the routine CreateWellKnownSockets()
sets up the initial connections. When my file descriptor that is
returned from my socket call is greater than 32, It gets messed
up when the following code is executed in CreateWellKnownSockets():

WellKnownConnections |= (1L << request);

I know this is because the number is getting chopped because it is
greater than 32 bits. I also know that I can use the enhanced select()
call to get around this. The problem is I am not exactly sure how to 
do this. I am not sure how to extend the WellKnownConnections mask so that
I can use sockets that have a value greater than 32. I know I have not 
explained this as well as I would have liked to, if you have any ideas, 
please drop me some e-mail.

(A followup to my own posting):

I have received several responses to the above posting.  Most of them
suggest getting sunkbd.tar.Z from export.lcs.mit.edu.  I have done this
and have found that it is a patch for the X server for X11R5.

I have two different problems with this: 1) I am currently using X11R4 clients
and server, and 2) I don't have source for X11R4.

Even if I was using X11R5, I don't have the disk space on my home machine
to download X11R5, apply the patch and rebuild it.

My questions are: does an equivalent patch exist for X11R4?  If so, where is
it located?   Also, if an X11R4 patch does exist, does anyone out there
have an already patched X11R4 X server (compatible with my Sun ELC) that
I can ftp?  If an X11R4 patch does NOT exist, does anyone out there have
an already patched X11R5 X server (compatible with my Sun ELC) that I can ftp?
In that case (if I use an X11R5 server), will my X11R4 clients still work?

Thanks for any help that you can provide,


Larry Ader

It's been my experience that with a symmetric multiprocessor
server, you can replace workstations with X-terminals and folks will
be happy. This was in a development environment.
