That is *not* the typical commercial customer by a long shot.
That's not even the typical technical customer for workstations.
If you restrict your market to a small enough customer base you
can say that *anthing* will survive.  I'm sure there are still
people using CPM.  But that's not the kind of survival that most
of us are depending on.

I work for a small software company.  Currently we have on SPARCstation IPX
and one IPC.  The IPX doubles as a file server.  It has been suggested that we
get an X terminal for demos of our product (which is an X application - the
demos have to look good).  Is an X terminal the best, most cost-effective way
to go?  Or should we buy a diskless workstation?  Perhaps buy X server
software for our Macs?  If the X terminal is a good idea, what brands should
we consider and what prices can we expect to pay?
 
Any advice or info is greatly appreciated -- please reply via email, thanks.

Hello Guys,
This is the first time I am posting to this newsgroup. I am just trying to use
the X-Toolkit library. I am unable to find file "PushButton.h" for the 
pushbutton widget. I looked in the directory that contains the Athena
widgets. We are running the X11 version 4. I have talked to the system
administrator at our location and they couldn't find it either.
I also tried at the 'export.cis.mit.edu" node but the PushButton Widget
is not there. 

Now my question is this, Is anyone used this widget before? Is this widget
available in any public domain? Or can I use any of the other widgets like
Command to subsitute for the pushbutton. We have other widgets like
command, menubutton etc. 

I have just started to use the X-Toolkit, so pardon me if the above questions
seem simple, but I need an answer.

Thanks
- Naveen

The proper place to put key translations for xterm is its X resource
file. The following is an example:

        *VT100.Translations: #override \
                <Key>F1:        string("This is F1 ... ") \n\
                <Key>F2:        string("well now this is F2") string(0x0d)

Put this into the resource file for xterm, or merge it into the
resource manager with

        xrdb -merge keymap-file

See the man page for xterm for details on rebinding keys.

Regards,

Hello!

I'm having problems with starting a xterm client from (tv)twm menus.
(tvtwm started under .xsession from xdm)

xterm quits with ERROR_OPDEVTTY.

I looked into the source and by coincidence still had an main.c.orig
from some patchlevel previous to PL10. There I found that this is a known
problem, but the code seemed to have been fixed in later patches.

Unfortunately here it isn't. Our SVR4 implementation is based on
SVR 4.0 and 4.1. Both fail. X is 5 PL 9. I have patch 10, but haven't installed
it yet. Also, it seems to contain no SVR4 fix.

Can anyone help? Is there another client I could use (exterm, cxterm),
where the code is cleaner maybe? :-)

Maybe a clean work-around, as all seems to work fine when I start the 
WM from the shell)

Cheers
Mike

 Hello X-Windows World!!

  DEC has a program called BANNER as part of its UIS/VWS demo package.
 It places a user configurable window(s) on your screen to display
 various current system information (free pages, page faults, ethernet
 traffic, CPU modes, CPU load, etc)

 Anyway, I'm looking for the X version of the same program. I've
 seen a version of it a DECUS but haven't found a distribution
 source.

   Any ideas??

Very strange.  xrn 6.13, and now xrn 6.17, usually run nicely on one of
our Sun SS2's, but !really! whack the local disk for !minutes! when
doing almost anything when being run on an SLC.  If there's a lot of
newsgroup updating to be done in the .newsrc, xrn on the SLC might just
whack forever...

Has anyone seen this?
The SS2 and SLC are running the same executable and have the same
libraries -- in fact everything is the same, to the best of my
knowledge, except the SS2 has more RAM & swap.  But 16 Mb RAM on the SLC
!can't! be too little, can it??

We're running SunOS 4.1.1, and oh yeah, this test is done with an xrn
6.17 built against X11R5 libraries, or xrn 6.13 built against X11R4
libraries, running over/under the OpenWindows shipped with SunOS.

Thanks for your comments,
ruck

Xpert,

System: Sun 4/300, SunOS 4.1.1, OW3.0

I want to create a window that will fill my entire 1152x950
screen with NO window decorations (i.e., really get the whole screen)

PROBLEM:  I still get about a 2 pixel wide border around my window that is NOT
in my window.

This outside border seems to be between the resize bars OW puts up
(that I thought i deleted!!!!)

Is my deletion of the resize corners not enough????
(i.e., is there something else I need to remove).

NOTE: I don't want to use override_redirect because then I can't
seem to get at the hardware colormap and set the 256 colors I want.


Does anybody have any suggestions on how to get the rest of my screen away from
OW??

I've been using xrn6-11 under OpenWindows v. 2 and v. 3.  I've been
reasonably happy with it, but wanted to progress to the latest versions
of X11 and xrn.  Well, I finally managed to get R5 built and installed
on my SPARCstation 2 under OS 4.1.2.  I then built xrn6-17 without
errors, but when I try to run it I get:

karl@thuja% pwd
/usr/local/src/xrn6-17
karl@thuja% ./xrn
xrn: X Toolkit Error: Cannot perform malloc
xrn: X Toolkit Error: Cannot perform malloc

I've tried building both R5 and xrn with gcc2.1, and with Sun cc.  The
result is the same - no errors on build, but xrn won't run.  Does
anybody have a fix/work-around for me?  TIA.

#Since the subject came up ...
#
#In a lab of Vaxstations and SGI Indigos, when I run the following under
#VMS 5.5, with full UCX installed (no Motif package) ...
#
#$ set display/create/transport=tcpip/node='P1'
#$ create/term=decterm/det/logged
#
#(P1 gets the name of an Indigo), a window outline appears, I click to
#place it, and the window is drawn in the horizontal position I chose,
#but vertically placed so the window manager-imposed title bar and the
#decterm-imposed menu bar are off the top.
#
#Then, whether or not I reposition the window, after several seconds the
#labels on the decterm menu bar appear and instantly after that the whole
#window vanishes and I get my prompt back in the session from which I
#invoked the create/term command.
#

Do you see any error messages from the DECterm?  It would also seem that
there is a problem with the Motif window manager available on the Indigo.

#
#If, while waiting for action in the new window, I reposition the window
#to make it all visible *and* I type some random characters, then
#*usually* the menu bar titles appear and I get a login prompt.  (Odd
#that I have to log in since I specifed /logged_in, but that's how it
#happens.)  If I do get as far as the login prompt, everything works as
#it should.
#

Again, something has affected it.  There are case where you will still
get the login prompt if unsolicited input occurs.  This manly happens
when the VMS system is heavily loaded which causes the DECterm controller
to time out.

#
#Hmm ... another thing I'm wondering is how I can set a resource along
#the lines of
#
#DECW$TERMINAL*translations: #override \n\ ...
#
#to map my Indigo keypad into VT240/VT320 keypad functions.  The keysyms
#and codes, I can find, but when I have any such resource as the above, I
#can't get a decterm to run at all.
#

Send me some mail.  I'm going to look at the source listing for DECterm
a little later when I can get the CD online.  Sending me some mail will 
remind me, okay.  I suspect that the DECterm doesn't support this.

  Is there any tools which can record (capture) the various X events coming

  We are trying to set up some simple regression tests for our X clients,

I haven't seen these particular problems discussed here, so I guess
they're not too widespread; still, I'm hoping someone will see
something that looks familiar enough that they can generate a clue or
two for me.

I'm running X11r5 X386 (with all the MIT patches applied) on a
'386/33MHz; AT&T SVR4.0.2.1a; AT&T C compiler, et al.  My video card
is an AT&T vdc600, which uses paradise chips (X386 notices "pvga1").

[1]  My server gives up at quasi-predictable times.  Whenever I tell
twm to re-read "~/.twmrc", X386 shuts down.  Sometimes when I exit an
xterm, X386 shuts down.  The xterm thing is not consistent; sometimes
it does it and sometimes not; both setuid and non-setuid xterms; it
doesn't have to be the last xterm or the first.  (I am familiar enough
with X to know about the normal mechanism for shutting down; I'm not,
for example, merely running off the end of my ~/.xinitrc.)

[2]  When X386 exits, about 95% of the time, it leaves my display is
some kind of state that I can't quite cope with.  It looks like there
are graphics hanging around in a regular pattern rather than the
console text I'm expecting.  Sometimes, instead of graphic crumbs, I
see those alternative PC characters (smiley face, card suits, etc)
repeated in the same sort of semi-regular pattern.  I can see a cursor
blinking away in the right place, and the machine accepts keyboard
input.  The stuff left on the screen does not scroll, and the text I'm
expecting to see when I type commands, etc, is apparently invisible.
I've tried reseting things with the "vidi" command (part of AT&T
SVR4), but the best I can get is different screen trash.  The only fix
I have found so far is a reset, which is not exactly convenient.
(BTW, when I'm in the confounded console state, I can re-run X386, and
it operates normally; when I exit X386, I'm back to confusion.)

[3]  I'm using a 1200 baud serial mouse.  It's Mouse Systems compatible,
but I've also tried a genuine Microsoft mouse.  Although the distances
moved seem to be about what I'd expect, the screen image of the cursor
is only updated every 3/4 of a second or so.  In other words, if I
slowly drag the mouse cursor across the screen, it will not be a smooth
motion; the cursor image will be drawn and jump across the screen in 3
or 4 hops.  Is this the way everyone's mouse operates with X386?  I
hope not; it's very distracting.

Tx for any info.

Does anyone have the internet address of Ken Olsen so I can
send him a note. I am having trouble getting things fixed in
digital and I think he might want to know. I've have had 
motif problems with their version since June of last year
and it hasn't been fixed yet. Their latest still had the
problems. This is no joke. How can I send him a note?

Hi :-

I'm looking for an X window dumping/printing tool like xwd/xpr that allows 
output of color images on a b/w printer (public domain or commercial tool). 
I understand that xpr has got a 'grey' option in R4 but it doesn't work 
in SCO ODT. 
Besides, I would like to have printer support for non-postscript printers
like the HP DeskJet 500 C (HP PCL, L3).

I thought about combining xwd and the pbmplus tool ?! 

System configuration: i486, SCO ODT 1.1, X11R3/R4, Motif 1.1  

All hints are appreciated!

Horst
