        I have a Sun 3/60 running Sun O/S 4.1.1.  The machine has what appears
to be the optional Color Graphics board (4 BNC connectors).  Would this be a
high-res monitor?  How many different color options were available?  do eeprom
settings regarding monitor characteristics affect software behavior ?

        The problem appears to be with X11R4's X server on the color tube.  I
have several sun 3/60's with B&W that work perfect (all are being used merely
for X, hard to figure :-) ).  However, on the color sun refresh, does not work
properly.  That is, if any error messages, system messages, or echos are
displayed while starting mwm, it is impossible to refresh the screen.  I mean
the screen gets a refresh but those messages remain, whereas they are normally
erased.  Not a big deal normally, but these messages seem to reside in the
foreground on *top* of all windows.

        So I figured that there was a difference in the server... brilliant,
no?  The only obvious posibility that I saw was /usr/bin/X11/X which happens
to be a link to either Xsun or Xsun.r3.  I'm not sure of the difference
between the two, but I had different results.  I am a little X ignorant.

        when X --> Xsun, messages where placed near the bottom of the screen,
but if X --> Xsun.r3, messages where placed starting near the middle left of
the screen.  This was the only noticable difference anyway.

        I have only one error being displayed. mwm complains:
mwm: Invalid specification on line 7 of specification string
        But, I don't understand.  I get the same message on the B&W, which
works.

        so, do any of the wizards have any ideas ?  I went through all the man
pages, etc and could not buy a clue.  mail appreciated: heas@chpc.org.

thanks

Ok, ok.  A quick note to everybody compiling xcb at home.
The Makefiles contain a reference to libnsl.a.  Many systems
don't have this library.  Don't panic!  If your compiler
complains that it can't find libnsl.a, just remove that bit.

Oops ! I am introducing another NON-ASCII alternative to xterm ...
In Korea, Hanterm, which can be freely ftped from cair.kaist.ac.kr,
is widely used instead of xterm. It has all the options xterm has and
it can deal with Hangul (Korean Character). It is not using 'is' (input
server of x11r5) but has its own engine to do the complex things needed
to process Hangul.
Sure, it can show ALL THE ASCII characters too !

Trying to find any info, background reading, sample code etc for X.
I am starting my final year project and the intention is to create
a set of C libs for use on both MAC and X(on Sun or SPARC). 

These libs are to provide functions for creating/manipulating 
windows, menus, dialogs and the like, to be used to make simple
GUI applications on both platforms.

Any comments pointers etc gratefully received.

I DESPARATELY need to convert 16-bit grayscale tiff images to 8-bit for use in a
variety of drawing and presentation programs.  It seems that Leffler's libtiff tools, pbmplus, UCSD,
Image Alchemy, MIFF tools, and the UTAH converters all accept as input only 8-bit 
grayscale images.  I realize that converting from 16 -> 8 loses dynamic range but this is a loss
I must accept in order to view the images in any standard package.  I am not a graphics programmer
so I cannot easily modify tiffcp or tifftopnm myself (I can figure out the place in the code to do this,
but haven't a clue about how to ultimately manipulate the bits and the header information to 
produce a useable file).  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When building R5.13 on an HP 9000/750 running HP-UX 8.07, it
seemed like a good idea to add to config/hp.cf the line

	#define ExtraLibraries          -lPW

I built R5.12 successfully once, remembered this afterward, then
added it before building patch 13.  Lo & behold, make World failed
with:

        make -b depend
depending in ./config...
checking .././util/makedepend/makedepend over in .././util/makedepend first...
        cc -O -z -I../.././config  -I../../.  -DSYSV    '-DINCLUDEDIR="/usr/include"'  -c include.c

        if [ -f makedepend ]; then rm -f makedepend~; mv -f makedepend makedepend~; fi
        cc -o makedepend include.o main.o parse.o pr.o cppsetup.o -O -z    -lPW 
/bin/ld: Duplicate symbol "fatal" in /lib/libPW.a(fatal.o)
/bin/ld: Unsatisfied symbols:
   Error (data)
/bin/ld: Found 1 duplicate symbol(s)
*** Error code 1

Stop.

So, I took it out.  But that -lPW is pretty well essential in
user applications!  I know I could put the definition in the
application Imakefiles, but I wanted the Imakefiles to be
platform-independent (we need them to work on HP and Sun without
modification).  Anyone got a suggestion?

XChangeKeyboardMapping changes the keycode to keysym mapping for all clients

This is what I know.  At the Xhibition Conference, Bob Scheifler of the
X Consortium indicated that it should be in the X11R6 release.  I don't
know when R6 will be available.  The vendors who currently provide 
implementations of XIE may provide an implementation based on a specification 
that will be different from what will be in X11R6.  Apparently some significant
changes were made to the specification along the way.  Check with the vendor.

Dear All,

My dear ol' PC with Consensys Unix Sys V Rel 4, with X11R5 is not
"talking" to each other! I've got a Tsenglabs VGA4065 SVGA card in my PC
but when I run X, the get 2 little screen images huddling in the middle
of the display unit! From what I can figure its something to do with the
Xconfig file. The card, uses a Tseng Labs ET4000 VGA Chip (rev F).

Can someone please help me, by explaining to me what the contents of the
DBMode entries are (ie. the columns), and where can I get the
information so that I can get X to run on my PC. Alternatively, if you
have any information regarding the settings for the above SVGA card, I
would appreciate the settings for it. I would like to obtain maximum
resolution from the card.

Upon exit, one of the messages I get on the screen is:

	VGA256: et4000 (mem:1024k clocks: 25,28, 33, 36, 40, 45, 32, 38)

Makes sense to anyone?

By the way what is "interlaced" mode?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Alvino...

The answer is simple and maybe frustrating for you:
You can't!
At least you can't with the current implementation in the "standard" (MIT)
server and using the "standard" (MIT) Xlib calls! Maybe a vendor has put it
in his server code, but I don't know of one!
But you're welcome to write a server extension. (There has been some
discussion on this topic about one or two month ago, and someone said
"maybe I'll write an extension", but I don't know what's going on ...

I've been playing around a little with XTEST, and I like it.
A couple of questions:

1) on which newsgroup is XTEST discussed?
2) is there more documentation for it, other than what is shipped
   in the distribution?
3) are all "boundary values" of the X server tested?  For example,
   does it build bitmaps of the maximum supported size, and try to
   blit them around, and test the outcome?

Hi, xperts! 
Could some kind soul explain how to deal with
non-ascii fonts (like cyrillic, chinese, etc.)?
After server knows about their existence (and
they can be displayed by xfd) all I need is to
generate a proper keycode (probably that should
be done by Caps-locking, I mean that the program
must check if Caps-lock was pressed) and print
the character which is stored under the corresponding
number. Can I do it on XView level, or should I
use Xmu calls (XLookupCyrillic), as event_string()
macro in XView relies on XLookupString() ?

These questions may seem stupid for those who are
experienced in various k/ch/m-term's, but I really
don't know what to do.

Many thanks for *any* help.
	Yuri

I'm sure somebody out there must know an elegant solution to this:

Given a drawingArea widget, how can you efficiently hit tes to determine
what the must was clicked on. For example, i want to draw a series of
bezier curves in a drawingArea that can be resized, and re-scaled. I would
like to know when the mouse is currently tracking on a curve. If anybody
has any answers or hints as to how this should be done, I would greatly
appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,
