I have a question for all you xperts out there.

How does the Xserver know the size of the screen
that  it is working with?  Is this information
supplied when the software is installed on the
system, or does it read it from the graphics card
or what?

Thanks....

I'm using OSF/Motif and I have a problem...

I am looking for the way to change the title of a Shell Widget once it has
been managed. This doesn't work at all :

	XtSetArg(args[0], XmNtitle, xs);
	XtSetValues(ShellWin, args, 1);

Is something missing ???

I'm looking for more information about the experimental external interface
mentioned in Wcl23.Announce.

A colleague of mine created a handy tool called ``mish'' (Motif Interface
SHell) based on tcl 4.0 and wcl 1.06, I believe.  It was used to prototype
a lot of interfaces but those interfaces were eventually rewritten in C and
mish ended up laying on the shelf.

I'm hoping I can get it working with wcl2.3 and tcl 6.4 and then run it
by the lawyers to make it available on the net, or to just at least get it
up to date with the latest releases of each.  I am wondering whether
these external interfaces might be of use in this task, but I can't seem
to really find them :(.

Thanks in advance for any information.

There is no good simple way.  The only decently portable way is to
check periodically.  (This can be done by doing minimal event handling
inside your drawing loop, or doing the drawing a small piece at a time,
called from the main loop when nothing else is pending.)  Of course,
you have a tradeoff to make: how often do you check?  The tradeoff is
the amout of slowdown introduced by constant checks versus slow
response to user action.  What I would be tempted to do is check every
N times around your drawing loop, where N is a variable that starts at
1 and floats up and down, so that you check every .1 or .05 second or
however often works well.  (That is, every time you check, see how long
it's been since the last check, and increase or decrease N
accordingly.)

Maybe I'm losing my mind.  The documentation for XLoadFont says that if
it's unsuccessful, it will return 0 and generate a BadName error.  Near
as I can tell from looking at mit/lib/X/XLoadFont.c, it will never
return the error.  I even turned on synchronization, and req->fid
remains a valid XID.

Try this code, and see what you get.

		break;

I apologize in advance if this is a dumb question, but I am curious.
I have been pulling a lot of X sources from the net, compiling them
and have been told that the following symbols are undefined:

	_get_wmShellWidgetClass
	_get_applicationShellWidgetClass

The program does compile and seems to run just fine.  But before I
"release" these on my user population, I want to feel a bit more
comfortable about it.  What are these?  I can't seem to find any
references to these symbols in the libraries, headers, or even the
programs that I am trying to compile.  Any information is appreciated.

For the record, we are running X11R4 on Sun SPARCs (SunOS 4.1.2) using
the MIT Xsun server.  We are also using mwm from the Motif 1.1.5
distribution.

On nic.funet.fi in /pub/X11/binaries are two files.

18M	X11R5-sun2.2.tar.Z

I downloaded the first one and it doesn't seem to be everything I need
(I'm new to X11R5 and havn't used X11R4 in about 2 years) so I snagged
the second one but it's too big for me to download and uncompress and
untar (I'd need 100M free).  In looking at the second one though it has
a LOT of the same files.  Perhaps ALL of the same files.  Does anyone
have any insite into this?

Any help getting X11R5 running on a Sun-2 would be greatly appreciated.

  Well, I just tried to build X11R5p21 with gcc-2.3.2 on an NCR 3350, and I
cannot get it done. The last time I built X11R5 (p17) was with gcc-2.2.2, and it
had some of the same problems, but did not exhibit this one.

  The problem is currently that "htonl" is defined twice in libX11.a, once in
XConnDis.o and once in XlibInt.o. It is actually defined in <sys/byteorder.h>,
which is part of gcc-2.3.2. <sys/byteorder.h> gets included from <sys/endian.h>,
which is included from <netinet/in.h>.

  This is the error:

    gcc -fstrength-reduce -fpcc-struct-return -o phigsmon phigsmon.o -O
     ../libphigs.a ../../../.././lib/Xaw/libXaw.a
     ../../../.././lib/Xmu/libXmu.a ../../../.././lib/Xt/libXt.a

    ld: ../../../.././lib/X/libX11.a(XlibInt.o): fatal error: symbol `htonl`
     multiply-defined, also in file ../../../.././lib/X/libX11.a(XConnDis.o)
    gmake[5]: *** [phigsmon] Error 1
    gmake[5]: Leaving directory `/a/stor/x11dev/R5/mit/extensions/lib/PEX/cp'


  Anyone have any ideas? I don't understand why I would get an error now, since
the include file structure is basically the same. It is possible that I have a
slightly different version of the NCR operating system (SVR4.0 vs. SVR4.02). Did
this change the linker?

    Cheers,

I'm trying to speed up a graphics application.  I'd like one
process to handle file i/o, another to handle animation.

The animation process blasts X pixmaps to a window.  The pixmaps
are made from XImages.  XImages are made from a RAM buffer loaded
from disk.  Standard X stuff.

I can use the BSD shmop() or SysV mmap() calls to get shared memory
for the disk --> RAM transfer and subsequent use of the RAM buffer by
multiple processes.  But how can I have one process convert XImages
into (server-side) Pixmaps and then share those pixmaps with other
processes?  That's the tricky part.

I have a suspicion that I can't do this, since the pixmaps are on the
server, and the processes are on the client side.

Gee, maybe Sun's old pixrects aren't so bad...

xdm tries to detect dead X servers by periodically sending an X request to
them and seeing whether it replies (search for "ping" in xdm(1)).

By default, when twm is interacting with the user (e.g. popping up a menu,
displaying a placement rectangle), it grabs the server so that no other
client can use it.

This grab prevents the server from responding to the ping, so xdm resets
it.

A simple fix is to put "NoGrabServer" in the .twmrc file.  You can also
change the PingTimeout resource in the xdm configuration file.

Personally, I use RandomPlacement.

This is an HP bug.  The patches PHSS_1804 and PHSS_0956 should fix it. Our copy
of these patches had some file missing so we are supposed to get a new copy. I
don't know if the numbers will change.

Is this thread still going on?  Where are all the X authorities?  Gone on
Christmas vacation?

RTFM, specifically rtfm for xmodmap.  I quote:

EXAMPLES
     Many pointers are designed such that  the  first  button  is
     pressed  using  the  index finger of the right hand.  People
     who are left-handed frequently find that it is more comfort-
     able  to reverse the button codes that get generated so that
     the primary button is pressed using the index finger of  the
     left hand.  This could be done on a 3 button pointer as fol-
     lows:

          %  xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1"

When trying to compile Xgopher (and probably other X clients) on an
Ultrix platform, the Imakefile generates a Makefile which points to an
incorrect and obsolete directory for the inclusion of X11 header
files. In order to get things to compile, I need to change my Makefile
as follows, from:

    INCROOT = $(DESTDIR)/usr/include
to:
    INCROOT = $(DESTDIR)/usr/include/mit

On this Ultrix system, proper include files live in
/usr/include/mit/X11 instead of the usual /usr/include/X11.

Can some Imake wizard point me to what I should change in the Imake
configuration files? I assume I should override definitions in
Imake.tmpl with a new definition in ultrix.cf or site.def, but I
really don't have a handle on this.

Thanks in advance.
