After realizing a (motif) widget tree, apparently it is not possible to create
and manage a new widget, at least in the fashion below.  Here is what I 
attempted to do:

  toplevel = XtInitialize(...)
  rowcol = XtCreateManagedWidget(...for xmRowColumWidgetClass)
  create five managed widgets(pushbuttons) for rowcol
  for each of the five pushbuttons use a common callback that
    prints the name of the calling widget and attempts to create and
    manage a label widget (this where things go wrong)
  XtRealizeWidget(toplevel)
  XtMainLoop();

All is well in the callback until I try to create and manage (XtCreateManaged)
the new label widget.  My guess is that to do something like this I need
to use a dailog widget instead.  

I suspect that my idea of managing and creating widgets is a little off.
That is, I thought that after one realizes a widget tree that a way to
add and subtract widgets in reaction to user responses was simply to
manage or unmanage appropriate widgets. 

(My application is to display
a bunch of command choices, when the user selects one he then should
be prompted for some input.  Once he inputs some text, a calculation 
is made and should appear somewhere in a window.  
After he looks at the output,
he should then be able to execute another command.  The output from the
previous command can disappear.)

No special tricks.  The server does not have to be started up via xinit.
All you have to do is start the server inside of dbx, then manually start
an xterm (or a window manager) from a shell.  Naturally it helps if you 
have another workstation to use for debugging the server, but in a pinch 
a good ol trusty ascii terminal will do just fine.

I've added an extra 300M of HD space so I figured I'd rebuild X11R4 from
scratch.

Everything looks good, I'm using gcc v2.3.1, SunOS v3.5, and I changed
the -O to -O2 in the Makefile.

Anyway I run a Sun 2/120 as a central server, and run a Sun 2/50 as a client
and everything USED to work, now all of a sudden when I start putting a
load on the 2/50 (X11R4 server) and/or start several clients on the 2/120
I get this stupid

XIO:    fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) on X server "unix:0.0"
	after 2165 requests (2155 known processed) with 0 events remainging.
	The connection was probably broken by a server shutdown or
KillClient.

xinit:  connection to X server lost

BTW, right before I get this I start seeing...

nifty% NFS server egf-bbs not responding still trying
	NFS server egf-bbs ok

It just occured to me that the ethernet card (ie0) and the third disc
controller (xy0) are physically adjascent, and share the same P2 bus.

Is this more likely a hardware or software problem?

(I'm afraid I've changed both since things worked well).

Thanks,

Mike

DESQview/X currently has support for running X via the SPX protocol.  It 
works great.  The question is what do you want to talk to?  The SPX
datagram (currently) will only talk to other DESQview/X machines, allowing
them to interoperate.  Host machines typically do not have capability
to run X via IPX or SPX.  They occasionally use IPX/SPX to access shared
database info or something, but if you ask for an xterm across it it 
just gives you a dumb look...

UNIVEL is also capable of running X across IPX/SPX (I'm not sure which 
they use) and do some other neat things.  As of this exact moment UNIVEL
and DESQview/X can't talk to each other, but Quarterdeck and UNIVEL are
working together on this.

How can I convert icon image file in SunView/XVIEW to bitmap

I looked pbm package but they only supports sun raster formats.
xloadimage and xv don't recognize it either.

Any idea?

I am trying to use the RichText formatted text display widget authored by Daniel W.
Connolly, with an X window interface (with the motif widget set). I am having
problems using it even with classes like the form class, drawing
area, etc. The problem, explained in simple terms, is that any text I display
on the RichText widget fails to appear, and the width of the widget is always 8,
no matter what the length of the text displayed on it. The only widget with
which this problem does not occur, is the MainWindowWidget,
ie. when I have a simple interface with an application shell at the top,
a MainWindow widget as its child and the RichText widget as a child of the
MainWindowWidget.

I am facing a deadline to get this interface done and any help/clarifications as to
the reason why this is happening would be greatly appreciated. Is there some
documentation on what features this widget offers, which may hint on the possible
reasons?
Please reply by e-mail.

 Xerror sometimes when I execute the program (not always)
 The reason for failing keeps changing 
 eg _ X Error of failed request:  
	  BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error)
1. Major opcode of failed request:  6 (X_ChangeSaveSet)
2.  Major opcode of failed request:10 (X_UnmapWindow)

	  None of these functions are used in the code.
Any suggestions is welcome.

Here's a very easy method which used to work well for me.  Surround
the Xt include files with:

#define String XtStringType

include files

#undef String

This does exactly what you want.  It leaves String free to be an

This is true if running X on top of DOS is a requirement.  If you want
X Windows, tcp/ip networking, and don't mind running unix, you can get the
operating system and X-Windows for free (read comp.os.linux), and many of
the clients distributed from export.lcs.mit.edu compile out of the box.
Of course, the linux DOS emulator is only in pre-alpha, so if you need DOS
this solution won't work.  There are also limitations (not all video hardware
is supported, although the vast majority of (S)VGA cards are in one way or
another.  Also, not all mice talk to XFree86 very well).

If using DOS is not a requirement, but using the i386/i486 hardware is,
then linux + XFree86 may be a very viable option for you.

Hope this helps!

Jean.

PS - You can get linux from sunsite.unc.edu /pub/Linux or tsx-11.mit.edu
/pub/linux.  The SLS distribution is a relatively painless way to get the
complete system (including X and TeX).  Linux is still in beta though (0.99.2)
and is frequently changing, so although it is a very useful and powerful system,
be prepared for frequent upgrades in the kernel, at least until 1.0 comes
out.  XFree86, in contrast, changes only once every 3-6 months or so ...

I'm attempting to display kana/kanji in a kterm.  The kterm( version???)
is on a sun running X11R5/Motif 1.2.

The strings were entered on a Macintosh using KanjiTalk and transferred to
Unix.  I then ran 'jis' on the strings to put them in the ^[$B ... ^[(J
format.

If I compile/link my test programs using Sun's BSD curses and run the
program in a kterm the strings show up in Japanese.

If I compile/link my test program using Sun's System V curses and run the
program in a kterm the strings show up as jibberish.  It doesn't seem
to interpret the escape sequences properly.  The escape (^[ ) is displayed
on the screen.  I installed terminfo.kt and set TERM=kterm without any luck.

Could the net provide any wisdom for getting Japanese strings to display 
properly using Sun's System V curses on a kterm?

Hi all,

We have X11 Rel 4 running on Sun SPARCstations 1, 1+, and 2 running
SunOS 4.1.1 and 4.1.2.  We noticed a strange problem lately that we
have not been able to isolate yet.  After invoking xinit and a
couple xterm's, we receive a message "Can't open display" after
a few minutes.  The error occurs when we try to invoke another X
client.  This occurs even if the workstation is idle after the xterm's
are invoked.  Nothing else is running on the system other than the 
normal SunOS processes.  I think the message is coming from the server.

I have seen this message before only when trying to make the condition 
occur (i.e., invoking many X clients to determine the display limit).

Can anyone provide some insight into this problem?

My next step is to debug the server which could be time consuming.

Thank you,
Richard Jackson

Going through various FAQs I have found that X can be obtained for the
macintosh for $300.  However, there appears to be some X software included
with the X11R4 distribution for the mac.  What is this code?  Is it
server software?

Sorry if this sounds stupid, but...

...how do I use the tektronix-capability of my terminal connected to my linux-
machine running X11R5?

does it work in connection with X11 at all, or is it rather for gks, or what
does it help me?

eMail welcome ;-)

O'Reilly VII (page 108)  - XCreatePixmap returns a pixmap ID

Also BadAlloc, BadDrawable, BadValue can result.  I think I have
an idea why however my question is a follows.

How do I trap for instance BadAlloc as would happen if I ask for
a pixmap that is too big ?  This seems like a common problem
since off screen memory in X Servers is often limited ?

Is BadAlloc returned in place of the pixmap id ?  is zero 
returned ? help how do I do this ?
