We have also been experiencing some trouble while running X windows and Sunview simultaneously. Basically this used to work under SunOS 4.0.3 but since we recently upgraded to 4.1, it stopped working. It has a rather random behavior. Sometimes it works fine and the first sunview automatically starts X in cgfour0. However, most of the time the started X server gets stuck and there is no way to get it to accept any input (i.e. you have to kill the server). Has anyone experienced this problem ? Clearly there seems to be a race condition since the server sometimes works fine (about 25% of the times, roughly). Note that we start the server automatically from the script that sunview executes. I would appreciate any help on this subject. -Luis Miguel -- =============================================================================== Luis Miguel Silveira e-mail : lms@sobolev.mit.edu (or) lms@think.com Research Laboratory for Electronics --- Massachusetts Institute of Technology ===============================================================================

I don't know about MIT's Xsun, but it works fine for my 3/60C under
SunOS 4.1 with the OpenWindows 2.0 server (xnews). I start openwin on
/dev/cgfour0 first, and have my .openwin-init specify a shell script
that
starts sunview on /dev/bwtwo1,
sleeps a few seconds,
runs adjacentscreens /dev/bwtwo1 -l /dev/cgfour0.
We're not up to SunOS 4.1.1 yet.

We have just upgraded to 4.1.1 and ran into a problem with Sunview and X11R4 running concurrently. What it came down to was our sys admin cleans up our SunOS kernals and changes: pseudo-device dtop4 # desktops (screens), allow 4 to: pseudo-device dtop1 # desktops (screens), allow 4 Under 4.0.3 this seemingly had no effect, but under 4.1.1 it does prevent X11 from creating a new desktop running concurrently with Sunview. So watch out! dan -- =============================================================================== | | | Daniel I.
