#1000000001 in my continuing series of stupid questions...........
There is a user at our facility (NASA/LaRC) who has Motif 1.1 (binaries only)
on his SunSparcStation...........when even the simplest of programs (like the
button demo program xmbutton.c) is run.....the following messages appear....
Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfLeft
Warning: ... found while parsing ' <Key>osfLeft: MenuTraverseLeft()'
Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfRight
Warning: ... found while parsing ' <Key>osfRight: MenuTraverseRight()'
Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfUp
Warning: ... found while parsing ' <Key>osfUp: MenuTraverseUp()'
Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfDown
Warning: ... found while parsing ' <Key>osfDown: MenuTraverseDown()'
Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfHelp
Warning: ... found while parsing '<Key>osfHelp: Help()'
.
.
.
Additionally, if you use a text widget.....the delete, backspace key are
mucked up........forgive me for these potentially idiotic questions...but
what's wrong here????? Was the Motif stuff installed wrong??? Or am I doing
something wrong????
Thanks in advance.......now back to reading the Motif manual........:=)

It looks like a X11R3 server is being used with a X11R4 client. We tried this test on our R3 X terminals and got the same response. The problem appears to be the X11R4 convertors intolerance of extra whitespace. We have run into this problem on several occasions. Maybe someone could shed some light on this... Jeff

When I hand installed Motif I was getting these warnings and found that I hadn't installed the XKeysymDB file that was included with the Motif Xm library. This file defines all these additional "osf" Keysyms and is searched by Xlib (XKeysymToString() and XStringToKeysym() in lib/X/XStrKeysym.c). > We see these problems if X is reloaded from a product tape after >Motif, obviously this is on a different platform, but I suspect reloading >Motif may do the trick for you. I have no real idea what the above sentence means, am I out of touch with industry jargon or am I just too young to remember?? 8-) Richard
