Sorry if this is a bit off the mark as far as the right group.

I am using psfig for capturing MacDraw2 pictures in LaTeX.

Problem : The shading on the Mac pictures eg grey, looks different
          on the LaTeX document, but only sometimes. Try again and
          it might work. Sometimes a different printer gives better
          results. Sometimes the shading pattern on the LaTeX doc
          is radically different to the original Mac one.

Any clues ? 

ps the toner has nothing to do with it.

Thanks,
	Colin.

A program which allows widgets to be interactively sized and positioned and produces output which contains the widget types/sizes/positions.

Sorry, this question is probably a FAQ, but it's driving me crazy!

I have the following:

XAPPLRESDIR=/home/elan/PROJECTS/motif/defaults/

I have the right names for the resource files, capital letters and everything.
Yet it refuses to load the resources.  Any ideas?  It works fine when I put
the files in /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults.


Thanks,

Does any know where I could get the source code which would allow me to
create a Table Object written for the Xview Library?  I notice in the 
OPENLOOK Graphical User Interface Application Style Guidelines they describe
such an object.  I am using the Xview library 3.0 for which no Table
object exists.  Basically, I need a mulitcolumn scrolling list.

Whether you buy from OSF or a third party, you're still required to pay
the per CPU runtime license fee.  For more information, talk to someone

Subject: Keycode Assignments for use by xmodmap
Date: Thu, 21 Jan 1993 13:21:06 GMT
Organization: Universitaet Bielefeld, ASL.

Hello,

I have problems in setting up the Sun Type5 keyboard attached to a
SPARCstation 10 correctly.

On the console screen (right after the login process) I can use 
the grey cursor keys, but when I start XWindows, XWindows seems 
to change the keycode assignments.  These keycodes differ from the 
codes I found in the 'Sun Type5 Keyboard Product Notes', which 
came along with the SPARCstation 10 package.

I won't be able to use the grey cursor keys unless I modify the keymap 
using 'xmodmap'.  The file I feed to xmodmap contains the following lines:

  keycode 27 = Up
  keycode 31 = Left
  keycode 34 = Down
  keycode 35 = Right


Is there a way to have a global keycode assignment instead of having 
each user include the xmodmap command with his '.xinitrc' file?
Or could I prevent XWindows from changing keycode assignments?

I would appreciate any help,

Markus

Hi,
I know that I've seen what I am looking before, but now that I need it...
no luck. :( 


What I need is a light weight terminal emulator for X, that is easier on
resources and memory than the MIT xterm, as I am short on these things 
(Intel 486/33 with 8 megs) and have no need for "extra" features like
Tektronix emulation and such, just a simple vt100 window.

Can someone give me a pointer?

thanks,

I built X11R5, patch level 19, in a non-standard directory on a
SPARCstation 2 running SunOS 4.1.3.  I was not already running X11R4.
One thing I did have to do was to drop out of OpenWindows because
this had set up some paths that confused things horribly.
According to my notes, the only thing relevant to paths that I did
was edit file "site.def" to specify "ProjectRoot" appropriately.
Is it possible that your existing X11R4 executables/libraries/includes
are being used by the X11R5 make?  Just a thought.  Let me know if
you need other details.

I am fairly certain that these cards will function with X on a PC, as long as
you use the XS3 server which is available by anonymous ftp from
ftp.robots.ox.ac.uk in /pub/Linux/S3 the server is also available for 386BSD.
Get the latest version (0.3.1 or the ALPHA-0.4) to avoid hassles. 0.4 under
Linux requires the libc.4.2 jump libraries, I believe, but is otherwise very
similar to 0.3.1, which fixed bugs in 0.2b and 0.3 affecting S3 cards with the
801 chip.

XS3 does not run on SVR4 because no one has built it.  The functionality
of XS3 is being merged into XFree86 (so you get all of our other
wonderful enhancements :->), but we're no where near ready promising
any dates yet.

However, if you're getting Dell SVR4, it comes with a server for the
ATI Ultra boards (courtesy of Thomas Roell).

It's as easy as that:
The ATI-Vantage and ATI Graphics series all contain a build in Super-Vga
Graphics Card. So even on the old series you can use the Xfree-VGA driver
to use this cards. The card behaves like an ordinary ATI-XL card. For the
old card there was a limit for the VGA-memory of 512kB, as this was distinct
from the Video memory for the 8514/A part. On the newer cards SVGA and
8514/A part use the same memory of up to 2MB. So on the old cards you
can not get a resolution of 1024x768 because there was not enough memory
in the VGA-part of the card. On the newer card you can probably get even
higher resolution on the VGA-part of the card.

The problem with the X8514-server may be that this does not use the timings
which are in the Xconfig file. The 8514/A card is the one who provides the
proper timings for the accelerator part. On the ATI Ultra cards these can
be configured using the INSTALL utility which is on the disk that comes with
the video card. The factory default is that there is no resolution higher
than 640x480 available on the monitor. So if you have not configured the
card under DOS, it thinks that your monitor is not capable of 8514/A resolution.
So all you have to do is boot MSDOS (or DRDOS if you like) and configure the
card for your monitor. After that these settings will be stored in an EEPROM
on the card.

The advantage of the X8514 driver for the Pro and Plus is that it should be
faster than using the VGA-based X-server. I don't know if this is still true
for local bus or EISA cards.

Hope this clarifies some things about the X8514 driver
