We have been running the X11R4 server code from MIT and are mostly happy. One small problem is that there does not appear to be an easy way to disable <cnrtl><shift><reset>. This makes xlock rather useless. Has anyone got a way to disable this feature. Thanks. ++keith -=- - Keith M.

There is an HP extension to control this which is documented in "Programming With Xlib", Appendix E, section E.4, "Locking an X Display". Disable the sequence with XHPDisableReset(display). Enable it with XHPEnableReset(display). Mike Stroyan, mike_stroyan@fc.hp.com

Enable it with |XHPEnableReset(display). When we were using HP supplied X11R3 these were available and we did, in fact, use them. Perhaps I was not as clear as I should have been. The MIT X11R4 Server does not have the XHP* extensions in it. Using the X11R4 Xlib does not provide any obvious way of keeping this key sequence from terminating the X server. Is there another way to deactivate this? ++keith -=- - Keith M.

I know of no way to disable the key sequence in the server distributed on the MIT tape. My suggestion is to retrieve either: hpcvaaz.cv.hp.com:~ftp/pub/XServers/X.7.03.300.Z or hpcvaaz.cv.hp.com:~ftp/pub/unsupported/XServers/X.R4.800.Z Both of these support the XHP extensions.
