In an application I am trying to develop, requires a pointer grab through a portion of it. While XGrabPointer works when the display is the same as the host, it does not work if I run it with an x terminal as the display. I am using: status = XGrabPointer(dsp, w, True, KeyPressMask | ButtonPressMask, GrabModeAsync, GrabModeAsync, None, mycursor, CurrentTime); Now: if app runs on panterra & displays on panterra:0 this works. if app runs on panterra & displays on gremlin:0 it exits with: X Error: BadValue Request Major code 26 () Request Minor code 0 ResourceID 0x5 Error Serial #53 Current Serial #53 (systems: panterra - SPARCstation 1+, gremlin - Sun3/50 running XKernel all systems running X11R4 & SunOS 4.1) In a related aside, is it possible to use XListHosts(), XRemoveHosts() and XAddHosts() in a similar fashion? Any and all suggestions appreciated. Many thanks in advance. -Bruce ---------------------------------------------------- Bruce M.

status = XGrabPointer(dsp, w, True, KeyPressMask | ButtonPressMask,
GrabModeAsync, GrabModeAsync, None, mycursor,
CurrentTime);
It is not legal to pass KeyPressMask as part of the event mask to
XGrabPointer. See Xlib, sections 7.4 and 8.1.
Now:
if app runs on panterra & displays on panterra:0 this works.
You probably have bug compatibility mode set on panterra (i.e. via 'xset
bc').
In a related aside, is it possible to use XListHosts(), XRemoveHosts() and
XAddHosts() in a similar fashion?
XListHosts should work just fine. XRemoveHost[s] and XAddHost[s] require
that the server be on the same host as the client process.
