I use it all day every day (maintaining our ftp site and answering mail via support@qdeck.com), and I can honestly say that in the last few months I've never had my machine go down due to any sort of tcpip network manager instability. (Of course, I've crashed my machine quite a few times on purpose, during beta testing and that sort of thing, but the tcpip portion is quite stable...)  However, keep in mind that DVX and the network managers are only going to be as stable as the software they sit on top of (so if your underlying network kernel is flakey, you can't expect DVX to be terribly stable...)  >2) how does it send the information from a MS Windows app over >the X11 protocol?

(To vastly over-simplify what goes on, we just take the windows graphics API calls, and translate them directly to X-protocol; unfortunately, windows was not really written to be network-aware, so sometimes we see a speed penalty when an app does something stupid, like sending a big white bitmap to erase something rather than just drawing a white box; fortunately, that sort of thing is rare...)  >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?  You need to run MS windows, which Word then runs inside. You could run multiple windows programs within the one WinX window, and windows has ways to automagically start winapps when you start windows, so in practice it's not really a major problem. I have my system set up so that I can run WinX, which automatically starts Word Full-screen (for windows), so I never see any part of windows but word...)

I have a SPARC-2 with 2 CGSIX cards in it.  I'd like to have the R5 server recognize the second card.   I mknod created a /dev/cgsix1 device, but when I brought up the server, the second device was ignored.    How do I setup the second card?   Note:  If I borrow a cgthree card, and put a cgthree and a cgsix card in the same SPARC-2 box, the R5 server finds the second card. I then set the DISPLAY to the second card, and start a second window manager.    Worse case is I trade cards with someone, but maybe someone out there has seen this problem already...   email is preferred... post if you must...  Thanks in advance....   Jim
I am trying to find out if my application is running on a local or a remote display.  A local display being connected to the same system that the client is executing on.  I have access to the display string but can I tell from the string?  If the client is executing on host foo then ":0", "unix:0", "foo:0", and "localhost:0" are all local.  Under Ultrix, I believe that "local:0" is also a valid display name (a shared memory connection maybe?).  Are there other strings that I should check for?  Is there a better way to detect this?  Thank you for any help you can give me.
Our group is interested in using a 'pixmap' format for multi-colored icons/buttons etc that is easily converted to and from other format from 'resource' files. Using pbmplus we can easily move to/from Xpm to our other environments of MS-Windows and OS/2 PM :-(. We were wondering if Xpm or some other format is under consideration to be used as a standard by the X consortium for R6 as we would prefer to use whatever will be best supported by X.   Along the same subject line, is the reason the standard X pixmap is not used because it doesn't have an associated colormap and other attributes? or is it more involved? just wondering why there aren't editors for pixmaps out there for the 'original' format.  Email replies preferred. Thanks in advance.

If you're willing to do a little work, you can make DrawnButtons do what you want, more-or-less. One of my colleagues here at GE CRD has done just that in our internal LYMB system.  We have a matrix transform class that makes it easy to compute a series of dial positions from a single set of vectors. Each set of vectors is then drawn into a pixmap. Clicking the button advances the knob's state and changes to the next pixmap in the sequence.  Using DrawnButtons obviously still constrains you to taking up a rectangular portion of the parent widget, but that's normally not a big shortcoming. You can make things look circular enough.

Hi,    I am trying to write an X-windows based interface that runs on top of GDB. Could  anyone help me in understanding the way we are supposed to "fork" GDB off as a  subprocess ?? I currently use pipes but when I try and debug this program, the  following happens :  PROGRAM :  	main() 	{            int x;    	   printf("enter x : ");            scanf("%d", &x);            printf("x = .%d.\n", x );          }  OUTPUT :  	The program hangs without returning the output of the printf statement. When I type in a value (like 5), then all the printf's output comes out at one time.   Is there any other way, besides using PIPES to do this i.e., like ioctl or something else ??  Thanks,  Deepak

I'm trying to compile xftp which uses the Xw widget set and I'm having problems.  We're using Motif and X11R5 and it seems that my version of the Xw stuff was only ported to R3.  Are there patches out to port this to R5 (or a newer port altogether)??  Or perhaps a newer port of xftp for use with R5?? Thanks in advance.
Dear SGI and netter GL-X Mixed-Model experts, I am writing a mixed model application that creates a couple different color maps for different windows, and I've been having trouble getting the window manager to reliably honor my requests.  In some environments (entry level R3000 Indigo w/ 4.0.5) all windows are getting properly connected to their designated color maps, but on others (an IRIS 4D 240/GTX; also a different entry level Indigo) the color mapping is unreliable and changes behavior when I compile at different times.  The most common problem is that all non-top-level windows fail to be displayed according to their colormap.  My application starts out by creating three top-level windows; in some cases all but the first of these also fail to be displayed by their colormap.  This is spectacularly aggravating.  I would dearly appreciate   1. an explanation of the standard, RIGHT, CORRECT way to give a window   a colormap such that the Window Manager will Honor and Obey it;    2. any advice about problems that could cause my failure to get my   desired colormaps.  By now I have exhausted my own attempts on this, having tried everything reasonable or imaginable.  Below is example code giving the schematic for how I have been *TRYING* to do this.  Please, please, please SOMEBODY tell me what I am doing wrong/how to do it right!!!   Yours,  Chris Lee  /***********************************************************************/ Display* dpy;  /* DECLARE SOME DATA... */ Colormap popup_cmap; XColor mycolor; Window win; XSetWindowAttributes cwa; int nwlist; Window *wlist;  /* NB: FOR BREVITY, NOT SHOWING ALL CODE LINES--JUST A SCHEMATIC */  popup_cmap=XCreateColormap(dpy,DefaultRootWindow(dpy),vis->visual,AllocAll);  /* HERE WE STORE A BUNCH OF COLORS USING    XStoreColor(dpy,popup_cmap,&mycolor); ... */  cwa.colormap = popup_cmap; win = XCreateWindow(dpy, parent, x, y, w, h,                     borderWidth, vis->depth, InputOutput, vis->visual,                     CWColormap|CWBorderPixel, &cwa);   /* LIST ALL SUB WINDOWS OF my_topwin, PARENT OF win, INTO wlist;    nwlist IS COUNTER OF ENTRIES IN wlist.

The COSE announcement specifies that Motif will become the common GUI. But what does this mean exactly?   - Do they mean that all "COSE-complient" apps will have the Motif   look and feel?  - Do they mean that all "COSE-complient" apps will use the Motif   toolkit API?  - Do they mean both of the above?  - Is it possible that there will be a Motif-API complient toolkit with   an OpenLook Look & Feel?  - How about an OLIT/XView/OI/Interviews API toolkit with a Motif L & F?   (I know OI already does this, but will this be considered COSE-complient?)  - Will there be more than one "standard" toolkit API or L & F supported?  - How does using ToolTalk fit in with Motif?  This is my attempt to start a discussion in order to pull as much  knowledge about these questions off the net...

I have been using a HDS X-terminal, and really like it. What is really powerful is that it can run the X server without running a window manager. One can then run a special client X program called a window manager, either (1) run  motif or openlook from it's own firmware (limiting the network traffic - but having no HOME). or (2) run motif or openlook from some home place (like a sparc, or vms).  This is powerful, especially since I can exit one window manager (without killing windows) and then start up another manager. (Some of my VMS tools need special meta-mouse combos that work in one manager and not the other).  Well the question is:    On a sparcstation running openlook, does anyone know how to   break apart olwm from the olwm_slave program? Basically I   want to run only the server, and go somewhere else to run   the window manager.  --- Please respond my e-mail (as well as posting) because of the large volumes in window.X)  Thanks.
Hi,   I'm trying to write a Motif program on an Interactive Unix machine, and I'm observing very strange behavior when my program attempts to expose a DrawingArea. Namely, some Xlib operations work, and some do not. In particular, the expose consist of two XFillRectangle calls followed by some XDrawPoint calls, and for reasons unknown to me the point calls are failing whenever a pulldown or popup up menu is (clicked on and) moved in the rightward direction over the drawing area, but after the move, is still on some part of the drawing area. This also happens less consistently when the pulldown/popup is moved in the leftward direction.  Assuming that my code is not doing anything incredibly odd, is this a server bug?  Thanks,

Use a workProc.  See XtAppAddWorkProc(3Xt).  You should split your drawing routnie up into small chunks (this is the hard part).  Then, in the callback that starts the drawing, you call XtAppAddWorkProc() to call your workProc the first time.  Your workProc should be a function that returns a boolean... TRUE when you are finished, and FALSE when you want to keep processing.  If you return FALSE, the workProc is automatically re-installed.    Note that this method is better that using a time-out loop, since events get processed in a more precedence-oriented manner.  If you are using the same Ada bindings I am, however, you are hosed, and should look into XtAppAddTimeout(3Xt).  ---------- Joe Hildebrand hildjj@fuentez.com Software Engineer Fuentez Systems Concepts (703)273-1447
I've written an application for SparcStation 2 GX+, under OpenWindows 3.0.  The application uses XView stuff to create my window, and the SUN XGL graphics library for rendering into the Canvas.  The application does real-time 2-D animation, but it does not update the the display fast enough. I'm using notify_set_itimer (XView call) to periodically kick off my update routine, and it's not happening fast enough. I want it to update 25 times / second. It's only doing about 11. Also, it appears to be compute bound, because if I run anything else while my appplication is up, the update rate slows down even more.
