Did you check the terminal type on machine B? it should be set to
vt100 or xterms. do the following on machine B:
setenv TERM vt100
tset

Hopefully this will solve the problem.

As I understand, NCDs' X-Remote implementation is to put X-Remote
software at the X client(s) side (the host), and a special PROM which
is a firmware running at the X-server side (NCD X-terminal).

I'm interested in running the X-Remote protocol between 2 workstations.

What software should I run at the X-server side (which functions like the
PROM firmware at the NCD X-terminal) ?? Is it the same program which runs
at the X clients side ?? where can I get it from ??

Yes, this is supported.  Did you flush your X dpy buffers?  Calling
XSync, XFlush, or most of the XEvent routines will do this for you.

The only two things (that I can think of at the moment) you have to 
watch for is:

1)  If your clients are not on the same machine you have to make sure
    that different byte ordering is taken into consideration when you
    pass the window ID through the socket.  If this was your problem
    you would get an error...

2)  If the client which created the window goes away the window will,
    by default also go away.  The other client had better watch for this.
    There is supposed to be a mechanism for asking the server to keep
    things like windows around after the client has closed its connection,
    but I've never used it so I don't know off-hand what it is.

Hi,

I found the following strange behavior in X11R4, delivered with DG/UX 5.4.1.
To have xor behavior, (draw on a set pixel means clear that pixel),
I must use GXnor. On a Sun with X11R5, I'll have to use GXxor.
My question is: Is this a bug in the DG/UX-port, a bug in X11R4
and are there any other systems that have the same problem ?

I have a small Motif program to test this. If you want I can send you
a copy of it.

I'll summarize the responses and post it to the net.

Thanks in advance.

Marc.

I'm generating my own mouse movement events with XSendEvent, and
sending them to myself.  I'd really like the X server to timestamp them,
but instead, it just passes along whatever time value I've set
in the synthetic event.  But I don't know what time it'll be when
the X server gets the event.

Any easy way to do this?

I guess I should just be using select() and doing the
timeout that way.  Ugh.

The undefines your getting are unrelated to the real issue: I bet
your running 4.1.2? There is a dynamic linker bug that crops up now
and again. Try first to implicitly add the -ldl option in the Makefile
to force the dynamic linker procs to be included, or, set up your
environment to do static linking; i.e. setenv LD_OPTIONS -Bstatic

This results in larger and slower executables, but it will compile
nonetheless.

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?

       example  in  "XView  Programming  Manual"  by   O'Rielly   &

       file was "dropped."  However, I want  to  be  able  to  read
       multiple  file names when a group of selected file icons are
       "dropped."  I searched all available  X  Window  programming
       references,  but  could not find a way to read multiple file
       names.

       Is it impossible in  X  Window  programming  to  do  what  I
       described above?  If it can be done, please inform me of the
       reference source.  An illustrative example would be perfect.

You can do something cheesy like in main() put a a call to pause() or
select() if some magic environment variable is set. Then the server
will just sit there in the pause and you can attach to it at your
leasure. once you are attached just do something that will cause pause
to return like ^C.

SL, etc.) and I really don't have a good idea of what is out
there for this application. Any vendor info or user opinions are
greatly appreciated.

Our system requirements are X/Motif, Unix/POSIX, and low-cost
for an environment consisting of over 300 workstations.

Note that we are looking for both complete applications and tools
(widgets for example), which we could build upon for the final
application.

Actually, when Xremote is being used, there are three components: the
client, the server, and the terminal.  Nothing special happens on clients
(the machines that execute the application programs).  The terminal is an X
terminal or PC that dials up to the server (a workstation or minicomputer)
on which the user runs the Xremote server.

In other words, you'd like a workstation to be an Xremote terminal.  As far
as I've heard, there's no implementation of the Xremote terminal for
workstations.  The protocol has been licensed to some PC X server vendors
(e.g. Desqview/X).

Summary: what can I do with a tektronix-terminal connected to a x11-machine?

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 ;-)
