I am having difficulty getting xdm on a Personal Iris to work with
a NCD X terminal. Has anybody else experienced this problem? We are
running IRIX 3.3.1 on the iris. The difficulty occurs with both the
xdm provided by SGI and the xdm compiled from X11R4 patch 18.
The NCD X terminal works fine with xdm from other hosts. When I
turn on xdm debug on the Iris (/usr/bin/X11/xdm -debug 3), it seems to
stop after printing the line "creating socket 177" and never gets
to the line "WaitForSomething".
Thanks in advance.

I have had the same problem with my NCD17c. The problem turned out to be that the geometry was too big in the Xresources file for xdm. All of the other NCD terminals are black and white with a portrait display. A full size login window for those is too big for the NCD17c. (Maybe an NCD17c bug). -- Anthony Shipman "You've got to be taught before it's too late, Computer Power Group Before you are six or seven or eight, 19 Cato St., East Hawthorn, To hate all the people your relatives hate, Melbourne, Australia You've got to be carefully taught."

I posted a set of patches for the X11R4 distribution of xdm to comp.sys.sgi; I unfortunately didn't archive them (oops :-) Could someone either mail my patches to this person and/or post them here? The patches basically boil down to replace all #ifndef SYSV with #if !defined(SYSV) && !defined(sgi) and compile with -D_BSD_SIGNALS -- C.
