[comp.sys.hp] TSRX X screens

burzio@mmlai.UUCP (Tony Burzio) (07/14/89)

Machine:   (HP-UX mmlmfg 6.5 B 9000/370 mmlmfg)

The new multi-screen capability of the X server on the TurboSRX is
really neat, but I am having a problem with input focus.  When I
create an xterm window on the second screen (the overlay planes)
the window appears but no output or input is allowed.  Non-input
programs such as the kaleid program work just fine.  The hpwm window
manager starts up, and I can kill the comatose xterm window.  What am
I doing wrong?  The command issued is xterm -display mmlmfg:0.1
(my machine is called mmlmfg).  The X0screens file has /dev/crt
and /dev/o4crt in that order.

Thanks in advance...

Are you running hpwm on both screens?  If not, this could be your
problem.  Since hpwm actively moves the input focus regardless of
the keyboardFocusPolicy (explicit or pointer), the input focus is
probably left on the other screen.
