For the life of me I can't get xdm working properly remote servers. The configuration all seems standard as far as man pages are concerned. The only thing radical is that I have no entries in /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers. In my understanding this is what you should do if you want prospective servers to enquire on the host using XDMCP. I have been trialing Tek, NCD and HCL-Exceed X-servers which all support XDCMP but I can only get sessions started currently using Telnet. I know that xdm works because if I add


 the ":0 local bla-bla-bla" line to Xservers the login window pops up on the host's console display.

I know the answer will be simple, but your help will be appreciated


Thanks,

Whenever I try to use the resize command -- to help set 
termcap entries for xterm windows, it causes my xterm window to dissappear.

I can't figure it out -- xterm seems to work fine 99% of the time
but when you run resize it prints the ROWS and COLUMNS info then 
the window disappears.  

Has anyone else had this problem, or have a clue as to what's causing it.

I am using Xvision on a PC and MS-windows is the window manager if that
makes a difference.  

My feeling is that it is doing something funny to the tty settings (iotcl)
and causing my window to crash??

Kevin.

Yes, talk to your Oracle sales rep.  The product is called Pro*C and
connects to X rather well.  I've done a lot of work with it and have
have had little problem.  It was included with the RDBMS at one time,
someone else can verify if it is still included.

Basically, anything you can do in SQL*Plus, you can do in Pro*C,
including Oracle database administration.

Reply-To: matt@oddjob.uchicago.edu (My Name Here)
Organization: If you worked here you'd go home by now

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.

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.



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.

"impossible" is a bit strong.  It's merely dangerous.  I used
to do it all the time on an Apollos (where binary compatiblity
was taken seriously and old programs would often run through
years of new releases, even after the object file format changed).
It's also possible (if careful) to build 4.1.1 binaries that run
on 4.0.3, assuming you fiddle some with the libraries and build
libc static.

You can't do this, because AnswerBook requires Sun's xnews server

    I think you need to give the window name as well.  I use:

Mwm*Xman.clientDecoration: title

and only get a title.  However, you have to set this *before* mwm starts
up (it doesn't change on-the-fly). 

Other options to this are:
   all border maximize minimize none resizeh menu title

If  you  start with a "-" it adds all then removes what is in your list,
otherwise it starts with nothing and adds in your choices.

You have given the answer. Use xwd | xpr | lp . Do this within your

I recently obtained xloadimage version 3.01 from gatekeeper.dec.com and
compiled it on a DECstation 5000/200 under Ultrix 4.2.  I got one warning
during the compile; it is:

  line 143 rlelib.c: size of array sv_DTable is required unless 'extern'
                     specified
  struct sv_dispatch_tab sv_DTable[];  /* offending line */

xloadimage finished compiling and linking fine, though.  It works when
displaying an image in a window, but when I try to put an image on the root
window (the background), it fails with this error:

  Xloadimage: X error: BadWindow - parameter not a Window on 0x0
  XGetWindowAttributes on root failed

The same code, with the same -DDEFINES and everything, compiles (without even
the warning) and runs perfectly on a Sun Sparc 2 under SunOS 4.1.1.

Any ideas?

I am modifying xdvi (tex previewer) to include a button in the menu
that enables one to preview another file.  I have written code
which

1. creates a new command widget button at the bottom, titled "New File".
2. When clicked, it pops up a window which has a text widget
	for inputting the new file name to be previewed.

=======
      	a label widget, then the following text widget
    ...
      XtSetArg(arg[n],XtNeditType,XawtextEdit);      n++;
    ...
      textw = XtCreateManagedWidget("Text", asciiTextWidgetClass,
                   newfileform,arg,n);
    ...
 	 then a command widget to popdown this window

    XtPopup(newfiletran,XtGrabNone);
=======

Problem:
	After my "newfiletran" window pops up, I move the mouse pointer
to my text widget.  Then I would expect whatever I type to appear in that
widget.  However, it does not accept any input.  The focus is on this new
window, but the input is actually being accepted by the xdvi window
(top_level).

For top_level, "wmhints.input" is True. and then,

        XSelectInput(DISP, top_level, KeyPressMask | StructureNotifyMask);

also exists.  How do I disable them for the time being, until my
newfile window pops down?  I have tried

   XSetInputFocus (DISP, newfiletran->core.window, RevertToParent, CurrentTime);

and its variations.  I also tried

   n=0;
   XtSetArg(myarg[n],XtNinput,False);   n++;
   XtSetValues(top_level, myarg, n);

   n=0;
   XtSetArg(myarg[n],XtNinput,True);   n++;
   XtSetValues(textw, myarg, n);

before XtPopup(newfiletran) and then resetting

   n=0;
   XtSetArg(myarg[n],XtNinput,True);   n++;
   XtSetValues(top_level, myarg, n);

after   XtPopdown(newfiletran);

but nothing seems to work.  Am I off track?

Because xrn is BIG.  Very big.

"Cannot perform malloc" means you're out of memory.  Try adding more swap.
