I would like to follow up on the recent discusions concerning problems running xnews vs. MIT and general bugs with xnews, by asking about any known problems running Motif apps and/or mwm under xnews. (1) I for one can almost always get the server to crash with the following type messages XNeWS: internal error detected (SIGSEGV). Report this problem to a knowledgeable person. Console: fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) or KillClient on X server ":0.0" /usr/openwin/bin/xinit: connection to X server lost. OR XNeWS: internal error detected (SIGSEGV). Report this problem to a knowledgeable person. /usr/openwin/bin/xinit: connection to X server lost. Console: fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) or KillClient on X server ":0.0" this always happens when I have a soft link to the mwm binary, something such as: mwm -> mwm.1.1.1 but never when the actual binary is found directly. (2) We did at one point have the xnews server, but not the MIT server, give BadAlloc errors on an eventual call to XCreateWindow, it ended up being a bogus value for the width parameter but the MIT server didn't complain. I know that doesn't mean that the MIT server was correct just that it didn't complain. (3) We are occasionally seeing some expose events being lost on our maps, we never see this happen under the MIT server. I was wondering whether or not someone else has seen this behaviour? (4) and last, xdpyinfo from the OpenWindows release under xnews says that the server does both Backing Store and Save Unders, is this true? and if so can anyone show me a piece of code using the Motif widget set that proves this?

I was wondering >whether or not someone else has seen this behaviour? Yes. I have an application that I draw into a pixmap and then flush to the window. At certain times the output just doesn't happen. If I use scrollbars and hide that portion of the screen and then scroll back the updated data will be there. >Ramon Santiago e-mail: santiago@fgssu1.sinet.slb.com >Finder Graphics Systems phone: (415) 927-0100 >A Schlumberger Company fax: (415) 927-2923 >Corte Madera, CA -- +---------------------- | John Birchfield | jb@altair.csustan.edu +----------------------
