Subject: XtAppAddActions Problems With X11R4
Organization: Servio Corp, Beaverton Oregon, US
Distribution: na
Date: Sat, 26 Sep 1992 20:17:44 GMT

I've posted about this problem before, but haven't seen a solution. I'll 
try again.

We have a large-ish Motif-based application which makes liberal use of the 
XtAppAddActions call to add app-specific actions to several of the widgets 
we use. We also define translations for those widgets which refer to those 
actions. When we pop up the first window that has such translations, we get 
messages like:

    Warning: Action MyAction1 not found
    Warning: Action MyAction2 not found
    Warning: Action MyAction3 not found
    etc.

or words to that effect. And, of course, the translations do nothing. 
Regular widget translations work just fine. Only those specified in calls 
to XtAppAddActions fail.

We are running HP-UX 8.07, and are linking with the /usr/lib/X11R4 and 
/usr/lib/Motif1.1 libraries.

First, to forestall questions about obvious errors, the same code works
properly without change on SunOS 4.1.1, DEC Ultrix 4.2A, IBM AIX 3.2, and
others. Also, it works just fine if we use our own home-compiled version of
the MIT distribution of X11R4. Only HP's own version of X11R4 displays this
problem.

Second, we have verified that the appcontext passed to XtAppAddActions is 
indeed the same appcontext that owns the widgets in question, and 
XtAppAddActions does in fact modify this data structure.

It is evident that HP has tweaked the X11R4 code some, since it is not 
possible to link the MIT Intrinsics with HP's Xlib and Motif (linktime or 
runtime errors result). What I am wondering is what HP might have tweaked 
that could cause it to ignore our XtAppAddActions call?

Has anyone else seen this problem?

HP-UX on the 700 Series does not support disk partitions. On the other hand,
if you are running HP-UX 8.07 or greater, you can use the Software Disk Stripping command ('sdsadmin') to create disk partitions. This is not the normal use for software disk stripping, but it works just fine.

Read the man page for 'sdsadmin' for details.

     Most of HP's machines are on a "closed subnet" lan.  This means
that people outside HP *CANNOT* access these machines, and vice-versa.
This is, of course, done for security reasons, as it's much easier to
isolate the lan than it is to guarantee security for many tens of
thousands of machines (HP tries to do this, too, but I'm sure some fall
through the cracks).  Access to HP's machines is allowed only via
highly-controlled "gateways" (i.e., open subnet machines), which permit
HP employees to access machines outside of HP, and which sometimes allow
non-HP entities anonymous ftp access (but only to the open subnet
machine, and not to any machine in HP's internal network).

  I've been a fairly vocal complainer about things broken with HP-UX
8.x, but the version of GNU Emacs available on prep.ai.mit.edu
compiled just fine out of the box under HP-UX 8.x on my HP 730 with no
modifications.  Get a clean set of sources and follow the GNU
instructions.  It should work just fine.  I compiled mine without
optimisation because HP hasn't shipped the Optimising C compiler that
we ordered and paid for.

Subject: Bizarre swap error on Hp 750 running 8.0.7
Organization: Advanced Micro Devices, Santa Clara, CA
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 1992 01:53:16 GMT


Hello, 
	I've just completed installing HPUX 8.0.7 on two 750s. Since these 
	machines need extra swap space, I needed to configure more than the 
	default, ie SAM didn't work for me. 
	So from the command line, I said:
	# newfs -v -s 500000 /dev/dsk/5s0 MICROP_1528

	This created a filesystem on the drive which was approximately 
	half the drive's total size. Then I converted the remaining 
	space into swap by saying:
	# /etc/swapon -e /dev/dsk/5s0 

	Everything seemed cool. Then when I tried checking the swap I 
	had just configured using swapinfo, here's the result:
	# /etc/swapinfo
  Kb      Kb      Kb   PCT  START/      Kb
  TYPE   AVAIL    USED    FREE  USED   LIMIT RESERVE  PRI  NAME
  dev   499673    2009  497664    0%       -       -    0  /dev/root
  dev   798844  772220   26624   97%       -       -    0  /dev/dsk/0s0
  hold       0 -766379  766379


	What baffles me is the 97% usage in the second swap area, when
	I am the only one logged on. The first swap area was
	configured during installation, and seems okay.   
	I have racked my brains trying to figure out what's wrong. 

	Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Just a quick word of warning: if your log files are growing significantly
enough for you to want to delete them, the diagnostic system could be
trying to tell you something. Before you take it out, it may be worth you
running sysdiag and using LOGTOOL as follows, just to check things out:

I believe I now have a solution:

(1) As above, in .vueprofile, say

	xmodmap -e "keysym BackSpace = Delete"

(2) In vue.resources, add

	*defaultVirtualBindings:	osfBackSpace: <Key>Delete

Step (1) makes the <backspace> key look like a <delete> key.
Step (2) ESSENTIALLY undoes this, by making this impersonator
<delete> key transmit a virtual backspace.  But the key (so to speak)
is the word "essentially".  Step (2) only affects applications that
are clever enough to access the X resource database.  Applications
like Datebook are indeed clever enough; but Emacs is not.
Thus Datebook et al see <backspace> as <backspace>, whereas Emacs
sees <backspace> as <delete>.

Caveat: step (2) may only work for applications that use the
Motif text widget, I am not sure what happens for, e.g.,
the Athena text widget.

I've got this problem:
I'm trying to configure a remote printer attached to a Novell server
as a model laserjet.
This because I want to be able to print in landscape or by half.
Paging through the man pages I've found this line :
 /usr/lib/lpadmin -plp3 -v/dev/null -mrmodel -ocmrcmodel -osmrsmodel -ob3
-ormsystem2 -orplp -v/dev/null
Now :
my remote printer is f010 and my remote server is nfss1 and I need to set
model to laserjet or equivalent

so I issued the command :
 /usr/lib/lpadmin -ptest -v/dev/null -mlaserjet -ocmrcmodel -osmrsmodel
-ob3 -ormnfss1 -orpf010 -v/dev/null
The command went OK , I restarted the lpscheduler but nothing happened.
any lp -dtest is accepted but no output on the printer....

Any suggestion ?

Thanks a lot.

Humm - I had to do this for a Customer here, and if you have a reasonably

Reading the Xlib Manual, I'm trying to find out the supported Visual Classes

Before we go code up the programs in our manual, is there an "easier" way

eclectic mix of HP720 color machines in use, I'm not sure if they all have the

We've looked at xwininfo and it appears that we don't have xprop mentioned in

   Your answer is YES, YES, YES!  AmigaVision will do all the things you are
asking and then some.  It features variables, database storage and creation,
programmable hitboxes and Arexx, and more...

   We have experience in doing just this sort of thing.  We designed a
demonstration for AAFES, the Army and Air Force Exchange System. The 20
megabyte demo turned out to be an interactive multimedia store catalog, just
the thing you are looking for.  We can definitely be of service to you through
the whole development process (we are registered CATS developers as well) for a
very small fee.  And we can provide assistance with digitizing as well.

   By all means, give me a call and we'll talk about this.

   For a development system, I'd recommend at least an A2500 or A3000, 5+MB
RAM.  Delivery systems could be an A500, A2000, etc. with a HD large enough to
hold the data and +-5MB RAM.
