  Has anyone compiled x11r5 on a solaris 2.0 or 2.1 machine? If so,
did it run ok. Also if X11r5 was used, did you use the motif widgets?

Hello, hope some folks out there can help me ...

We're just getting setup with XTerms (NCD's) and I'm looking for
recommendations for some X application software.
PD or commercial, don't matter, but I'd prefer commercial.

Here is a list of what I need:

PostScript Viewer
Structured Drawing Package
Text Editor
Spread Sheet
Plotting/Graphing

If some of these things are PD and availble by FTP could ya send me the
address and directory where it can be found, or if commercial, the name
and mabye a phone number of a company I can call.


Thanks.............

I'm trying to use MacX 1.2 to display Word Perfect running on a Sun (SunOS
4.1.3), but am having trouble compiling the WP fonts.  I've ftp'd the
WP fonts (*.bdf) from the Sun to my Mac Quadra 950, but when I try to
compile them in MacX, the finder doesn't recognize the font files, i.e.,
they don't show up under "Compile BDF File".  I tried using ResEdit 2.1
to assign the proper file type & creator (i.e., made them look like the
font files that came with MacX), but MacX still will not recognize them.
As a matter of fact, after using ResEdit, the files appear to the finder
as MacX documents, but still cannot be compiled.  Any help appreciated,
e-mail replies preferred.  Thanks.

BTW, I'm running System 7.1.

xdvi (patchlevel 15) when the *display server* is running HP-VUE,
doesn't display anti-aliased characters correctly - it maps the
black of the central pixels to white and the grays of the 
surrounding pixels to black.  Hideous.  Non-anti-aliased mode
displays fine.  I have tried "xrdb -remove" and also checked that
the colormap wasn't full.  Anyone know how to fix this one?

Hello,
I don't know for sure in this case, but perhaps there is a "fix" to
this problem.

in directory ..../mit/server/ddx/sun the file sunCursor.c is stuffed with:
#ifdef FBIOGCURMAX /* has hardware cursor kernel support */
...
#endif

You could try to put :
#ifdef FBIOGCURMAX /* has hardware cursor kernel support */
#undef FBIOGCURMAX /* No he has not! */
#endif
just before the first #ifdef FBIOGCURMAX in that file and all special code
using the hardware cursor would be disabled, and I beleive that would let
you have your "big" cursor again.

Naturally, this is a little gross, but if the size of the cursor is really
important, it could be a solution.

Bye,

The DE FACTO desktop for MOTIF is X.desktop supplied by IXI in the UK.

It is distributed as standard by DEC, SCO, IBM et al. They produce a full
distribution of MOTIF and X.desktop for SUN. In addition they have a set 
of goodies under the title Deskterm which provide editor, post it notes,
calculator etc.

IXI have distributors world wide.

That's weird. I've received a couple of letters to the mailing list 
during the last months. Are sure your mailsystem is set up properly?
If I read visual.com's MX record right, you want to be contacted
through relay[12].uu.net. If your outgoing mail takes the same
route, there should be no problem to get mail through to us.

Anyways, here's the status of emu.

	- It started out as a PCS project in '90 with Jordan
	  Hubbard, Tom Bagli and me working on it.

	- The project later was canceled and we were allowed
	  to give it out for free. We continued work in our
	  own time.

	- We put it on the R5 contrib tape but didn't have
	  support for very many machines ready that's why
	  we called it alpha.

	- Tom and Jordan left PCS last year but Jordan and
	  I are still working on emu although neither of
	  us can spend much time on it since we are highly
	  occupied by our normal work.

	- I want to get out a new release since summer last
	  year that mainly has support for more OS-dependant
	  pty implementations but haven't managed to do it
	  yet for lack of time and Jordan's hope to get the
	  SUN pty stuff to work properly under all circumstances.

As is, it works quite fine for SYSV or POSIX systems, I'm using 
emu every day as my default terminal emulator. With it's built
in "lean and mean" emu emulation it's even smaller than the
old xterm and I like the blinking text and cursor (ok, enough
advertising ;-)

So if anybody is REALLY interested in the new stuff and is willing
to spend some time with the code as is (we especially could need
help on the pty side for SUNs, since Jordan is quite frustrated
already and starts to doubt his programming skills ;-), I could
send out the code by mail. I don't want to put it on export,
however, until I've got it cleaned up better.

IMHO vtwm is the best one. Especially after patching it to support general

If mwm would have vtwm's Virtual Desktop features, it would rule.

Hi! I don't have experience running X11r5 server on a decstation but from
your description of mouse movement moving windows in the opposite
directions, I can guess that maybe on your decstation's origin doesn't match
with the mouse's. You might need to invert y values (and/or x values) in the 
ddx layer before passing to the server.

The problem is not so much running X, but doing program development
while running X.  You can easily use up 12-16 running gcc alone.
Running X an example of the the memory use I see is:

  UID   PID  PPID CPU PRI NI   VSZ  RSS WCHAN  STAT TT       TIME COMMAND
    0   152   151   0   2  0  5220  728 select S    ??    7:23.19  (X3861.1Cb)
16365   151    66   0  10  0   220   20 wait   I+   ??    0:00.12  (xinit)
    0   153   151   2   2  0  3096   20 select I    ??    0:01.53  (xterm)
16365   159   153   0   2  0   988  196 select S    ??    0:20.00  (gwm)
16365   160   153   0   2  0  3920 1500 select S    ??    4:51.62 emacs
    0  1755   159   0   2  0  1292  132 select I    ??    0:02.09  (xterm)
    0  4149   159   0   2  0  1256   20 select I    ??    0:04.29  (xterm)

which is 2616 Mb if you add up all the resident set sizes (the ammount
of memory used by each).  That's much smaller than the ammount of
memory other applications such as 'gcc -O2' will use.  Heck, there's a
file in the interviews distribution for which gcc 2.3.3 -O2 uses 30Mb
of virtual memory.

So, the answer is: 
1. you can run X with 4M.  It will swap like hell if you try to
compile though.  It runs fine otherwise though.

2. get 16M or as much as you can afford.  Gcc will run 10x faster if
the machine doesn't thrash.

Organization: University of Illinois, Dept. of Comp. Sci., Urbana, IL

I need help in selecting a 17" monitor and a graphics card. All
comments, recommendations, warnings are welcome. Please indicate if I
can bother you with more questions privately. I plan to collect all
answers and send them to whoever asks a similar question during the
next few months.

My primary GUI/OS is X11/Linux although I will be using Windows/DOS
from time to time so the card should be excellent for both. Price,
though a selection criteria, is not a major one.

For monitors I was looking at the Amdek 817 and MAG MX17F. I dropped
and Amdel after reading the PC World review. What I didn't like about
the MAG is the 60Hz V. rate at the maximum resolution. Would it be
justified to lose the 0.26 dot pitch and go to the NEC 5FG (which has
0.28) just to get a 74Hz rate that resolution ? 

As for cards, I'm currently looking at the Actix SG32 and the ATI
UGPro. X11 performance under Linux is very important. 

Any comment is appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help,

	Hi there Net,

	    I am having some difficulty configuring the Xconfig
file for the xwindows server on my 386BSD installation. I am 
new to unix from a VMS background but Xwindows is Xwindows I
guess.
My system is 486SX25 20M ram 200M hard drive, TVGA8900C video
controller with 1mvram. Tystar SVGA monitor. Xfree86 installed
fine I think.I tried the default Xconfig and I get the following
error message after the screen blanks and tries to sync.
:-
XFree86 Version 1.1/ X Window System
(protocol Version 11,revision0, vendor release 5000)
Configured drivers:
VGA256 (256 COLOUR svga):
ET4000,ET3000, PVGA1, GVGA, ATI, TVGA8900
X10: fatal 10 error 32 (Broken Pipe) on X server ":0.0
fter 0 requests (0 known processed) with o events remaining.
The connection was probably broken by a server shutdown or 
KillClient.

Does this mean my Xconfig incorrect or is the installation not
installed correctly.I've tried different settings in Xconfig
but with slightly different display results but always the 
same server failure code. So I guess what I really want to know is
this error normal for a faulty config file?
