Sounds like a problem I've seen on SVR4 systems when using ksh.  Actually, it
it not a problem or an error but a feature of job control.  The background 
process stops because there is "(tty output)" and expects a tty to output to.
I handled this in Mwm by turning off job control with "set +o", starting the 
window manager and then turning on job control with "set -o".

Well, I tend to rip out complex crap like sendmail and stick simple stuff like

My configuration: X11R4 downloaded from export, twm is the
window manager, an HP 700rx is the server.

I have written an application that calls XSetWindowColormap so that
I can have control of all the colors I want.  I wrote the code,
ran the program once or twice (while debugging things), and the
colormap was being installed as I expected.  Then, after changing
something in the code unrelated to the colormap installation,
I suddenly realized that my colormap was *not* getting installed
when my app (xvis) was run.  This really confounded me.  I undid
the changes I had made, and my colormap did not reappear.  While
fooling around, I chanced to invoke xvis when I had not yet killed
off the previous invocation (so I had two xvis windows up at the
same time).  In the second xvis my colormap is installed correctly,
but the first one still did not have it.

I can run xvis once, start a second one, and then kill
the first, but that seems like an extremely bad workaround.  Can
anyone give me any insight into what I am doing wrong?  If I have
left out useful information (and I am sure I have) please tell me
what else would be needed to know to solve this problem.

(Please email me - if there is any interest I will post a
summary)

Hello, all.

I'm trying to get XView3.0 installed on a Motorola 88k machine
running System V/88.  I currently have X11R5 installed (except
the server and PEX) and at least nominally functioning, after
tracking down problems and fiddling with the MIT distribution.
But while X11R5 wasn't a simple conversion (at least not for
me), at least it came close to building with the original dist.
XView, on the other hand, looks like it will be extremely non-
trivial to port.  My current problem, which precludes making
a whole lot of progress toward finding other problems, is that
XView is looking for include files which simply don't exist
on this system.

So.  My question to the net is this:  has anyone out there
managed to get XView3 onto an 88k SYSV/88 machine?  And 
functioning properly?  Or know someone who has?  If so, I
would greatly appreciate any assistance, in any form.

Responses via e-mail would be preferred, as I don't generally
read these groups.

Thanks in advance,

Hi fellow-netters,

I posted a similar request earlier but have not gotten any replies. So
here goes the request again.

I've heard that there exists a version of virtual window manager for
Motif (most recently in the latest X FAQ). I am very interested in
getting a copy of it. Can someone kindly point me to the source where I
can obtain it (never mind if it is a beta, or buggy, or ...).

Thanks in advance for any pointers and hints.

    1. Is FS really necessary for regular X clients?

It depends on your situation.  If all the fonts you want to use are
locally accessible and are in a format your X server can understand,
then no, fs isn't strictly necessary (but it could still be a win by
simplifying font administration).  fs is most valuable in a network
context, where fonts can be shared between all kinds of displays using
a single protocol.

Another benefit of fs is that it's separate from the X server.  For
example, the X server is free to continue processing while fs performs
a time-consuming font load or scale.  And if fs is running on a faster
machine than the one your display's running on -- you get the idea.

       What format should the parameter 'servername' have?

RTFM (fs(1)). On my machine, the string looks like
"tcp/hostname:7000".

We recently built R5, so I tried out a program that had been working on
both screens at R3.

The relevant code fragment is shown below:

-----------------cut here-------
Display *display;
int     screen;
unsigned int  display_width, display_height;

 if ((display = XOpenDisplay(NULL)) == NULL) {
		 printf("\n Couldn't open display!\n");
		 exit(1);
 }

 display_width = DisplayWidth(display, screen);
 display_height = DisplayHeight(display, screen);

 printf("\n Root Window Size = %d x %d \n", display_width, display_height);
-------------------cut here--------------

At R5, this works fine on screen 0 and displays:

Root Window Size = 1280 x 1024

On screen 1, however, it displays:

Root Window Size = 524402 x 1280

and a subsequent root window geometry request fails as well as an attempt
to create a new child window of the root.

Is this a known bug?  If so, does one of the fixes address it? (I looked
at the fix comments but didn't see anything that directly addressed this)

Some details: AIX 3.1.5 with 2 hfts.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Steve

If you are running on a Sun anything, and have access to source code,
the file you want will be in ?/4.x.x/usr.etc/rpc.etherd.c. (sub your version for the x's)

I've had requests from all over the world (literally) for a compatible
capability for DEC machines, but no one has come forward with etherd
replacement code that will run under ULTRIX.

Hope this helps. When, and if, I find an etherd ported for ULTRIX I will post.

  No.  Pixmaps reside in the server.  If you were doing XPutImage()
or XGetImage() you would be passing the data between the client and
the server, but XCopyArea() is done entirely within the server.

  This is how pixmaps work.

Hi,

We are running a cluster of SUN's with sunos 4.1.2 (SOLARIS) combined
with the X11R5 patch level 9. The SUN's are on the Campus ethernet
connected to The Internet.
We are using XDM to start up the X servers on the suns and some HP X
terminals.
Here comes a very profesional description of the problem:

     - start XDM's on most sun's. Everything works fine, lots of
       people can start up X servers.
     - Let it run for a few hours/ a day.
     - All XDM daemon have crashed, core files in the root directories
       of the sun's that (used to) run XDM daemons.
     - kill all bungling X servers,  restart XDM daemons, everything 
       will run OK for a few hours.
     
I don't have the sources of X11R5 online any more, so examining the
core files is not realistic (for me anyway).

From this very short description of the problem, can anybody help me ?

Jan
