The "xterm" variant provided with an IBM RS/6000 is called "aixterm". When I attempt to run this X client using the Sun OpenWindows server "xnews", aixterm fails with the following message: aix% setenv DISPLAY theSun:0 aix% aixterm aixterm: BadAlloc, insufficient resources for operation Request code 1, minor code 0, serial #79, resource id 10485767 Abort (core dumped) If I run the MIT server on the sun, it works ok. In both cases, the window manager on the sun is "twm". The server is a color machine. We tried setting the aixterm fonts explictly to ones known to be on the Sun. Who is at fault here? What is really going on? Is there a workaround? Thanks. Glenn P. Davis UCAR / Unidata PO Box 3000 3300 Mitchell Lane, Suite 170 Boulder, CO 80307-3000 Boulder, CO 80301 (303) 497 8643
