Most DOS X servers are terribly slow to use in my experience - and no, I guess  performance would be pretty bad. I believe the discussion is valid for an X  server on a decent workstation.

I've heard about that Italian guy distributing Motif binaries for 386BSD, but I haven't heard of anybody doing the same thing for Linux.  ... and I do follow the Linux news group pretty closely.

Hi,  there were a couple of articles posted to this group the other day with the above subject heading.  Unfortunately, they expired  before I could read them.  I could really use an xterm-like thing     on my Amiga 4000; could somwone give me any information. Thanks, Larry R. Nittler

I expect what is going on here is that your colormap is full and, when the new application starts up, it cannot add the colors that it needs to the colormap. It therefore has to pick and choose from the existing colors.  This makes it look ugly until it's window gets priority.  Then Macx changes the colormap so that the selected app is getting the exact colors it wanted, but now other applications are having to make do with it's colormap.  This is a problem with all color X servers (or at least all color Xservers I have seen) when the demands of the applications exceed the size of the colormap. My solution is usually to (1) avoid colormap-greedy apps and (2) display applications where color is just icing on the cake in monochrome mode rather than in color (if this is an option for the application).   - Doug Shaker 	voice:	415/572-0200 	fax:	415/572-1300 	email:	dshaker@qualix.com 	mail:	Qualix Group 		1900 S.

Hi!  	I have a question which is not directly related to X Screen Saver.  What X Screen Saver does is to blank the screen if it has been idle for some time.  I don't want my screen to go blank but to get locked or call xlock program.  	Is there a parallel call to XSetScreenSaver() which locks my screen or call my lock program after certain amount of idle time?  Or is there a way to find out how long the server has been idle?
# #Does XDM work with DECnet? I have an Ultrix machine running both TCP/IP #and DECnet. I have a number of X-terminals hanging off the Ultrix host also #running TCP/IP and DECnet.

Three q's:  1) is it reliable?  2) how does it send the information from a MS Windows app over the X11 protocol? Does it just draw everything as graphics into one window, or does it use multiple windows and essentially work more cleverly?  3) If I want to run MS Word, for example, remotely, do I have to run a separate copy of MS Windows remotely, and then start MS Word from that, or can MS Word be started remotely on its own?

The server overhead for this is mildly ridiculous, though (see also DESQview/X, which does this in its DOS windows).  Do you really want xterm to wake up every half second and whack the server into doing a bitblt?

Hi All,  I've heard of a commercial package named ZINK, that could convert MS-Windows source-code to XWindows source-code (C). The only problem is, the package isn't available in Holland (at least, I can't find it anywhere :-( )  Is there another package (preferrably free- or shareware), that can do the  same thing? And if so, where can I find or buy it?  Thanks in advance

I posted this about tow weeks ago but never saw it make it (Then again I've had some problems with the mail system). Apologies if this appears for the second time:  Usually when I start up an application, I first get the window outline on my display. I then have to click on the mouse button to actually place the window on the screen. Yet when I specify the -geometry  option the window appears right away, the properties specified by the -geometry argument. The question now is:  How can I override the intermediary step of the user having to specify window position with a mouseclick? I've tried explicitly setting window size and position, but that did alter the normal program behaviour.

Where do I find the Athena Widgets that are needed for xtdm-2.4.8
Well I am not sure if this is the right newsgroup to ask, but let me try anyway. I am running xterm and like all UNIX users, I run man <something>. Recently, I switched to Solaris 2.1, and their man pages are littered with ".I" directives that are somehow translated into reverse video when displayed by man under xterm. The resulting output (admittedly a personal taste) is very ANNOYING to look at. Back when I was using SunOS 4.1.2, I remember their man pages have some keywords displayed with underlining....  So my question is how do I change the xterm's behaviour under ".I" directives  for nroff man pages, to perhaps underlining, or at least disabling it. (".B"  directives are fine, I like them. And of course, I don't want to go in and edit the man pages inputs...) Somehow, xterm allows one to specify both a normal font and a bold font, but not an italic font??  Any pointers, suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks -- John
try this after XCreateWindow: -----------------------------  #include <X11/Xutil.h>  Display display; Window window;  {   XSizeHints *xsizehints = XAllocSizeHints ();   xsizehints->flags = USPosition | USSize;	/* or = PPosition | PSize */   xsizehints->x = 42;   xsizehints->y = 42;   xsizehints->width = 100;   xsizehints->height = 100;   XSetWMNormalHints (display, window, xsizehints);   XFree (xsizehints); }  These hints tell the window manager that the position and size of the window are specified by the users and that the window manager should accept these values. If you use xsizehints->flags = PPosition | PSize, this tells the window manager that the values are prefered values of the program, not the user. I don't know a window manager that doesn't place the window like you prefer if you specify the position and size like above.  Greetings from Berlin,
I am tunning into this newgroup after a long time. Could somebody tell me  what the slave mode in the xterm is? and what can it be used for? Any info where I can get more info or examples. I want to use a bunch of xterms and  send the input from one application to these xterms and get the output on the xterms. Please email me any info.
Greetings.  I am developing an application that allows a *user* to interactively create/edit/view a visual "model" (i.e. topology) of their network, and I was wondering if anyone knew of any builder tools that exist to simplify this task.  In the past I have used Visual Edge's UIM/X product to develop other GUIs, so I am familiar with UIMSs in general.  The topology will support objects and connecting links.  Once the topology is created, I want to provide the user with capabilities to support grouping, zooming, etc.  I am looking for some form of a higher abstraction other than X drawing routines to accomplish this.  Specifically, the zooming and grouping aspects may prove difficult, and certainly time consuming,  if I have to "roll my own".  Suggestions?  -greg

I am trying to build and use imake (X11R4) on an IBM RS/6000 running AIX V3.2. I am having the following 2 problems.  (1) Many of my Imakefile's have contructs like                 /**/#This is a makefile         at the start of lines to pass Makefile comments thru the C         preprocessor and into the Makefile.  Most of the C preprocessors that         I have used will not treat such a # as appearing at the start of the         line.  Thus the C preprocessor does not treat the hash symbol as the         start of a directive.           However the IBM cpp strips the comment and treats the hash symbol         as the start of a directive.  The cpp fails when it determines         that "This" is not a known directive.  I have temporarily hacked my         imake to handle this situation but would like to come up with a better         fix.  (2) Several Imakefiles use /**/ as a parameter to a macro when a particular         use of the macro does not need a value for the parameter.  The AIX cpp         gives warnings about these situations but continues to work OK.  If you are familiar with these problems and have solutions, I would appreciate information about on your solutions.  (Perhaps, this is solved in a later version of imake that I have not reviewed.)  Also, do you know of other cpp's that behave similarly?
Hi, netters!  I've just built X11R5 pl 21 under Solaris 2.1. I've used the multi-screen  patch, as well as the R5.SunOS... patch and everything builds great, except  for that error message Xsun gives me upon startup. It says:  "Cannot set default font path '[stuff deleted]'" and "Cannot set default font 'fixed'". If I supply the -fp option, it doesn't complain about the font path but still complains about the font. I have symlinks from /usr/lib/ to the  place where my distribution lives.
