[comp.windows.x] Help with server error

puglia@cunixf.cc.columbia.edu (Paul Puglia) (10/31/90)

I have an application which I am trying to run on a sparcstation 1 running
X11r and SUNOS 4.1.  I can start this program up on any other X server 
my site, but I can seem to get app to run on the local host.  Whenever I
start the thing up the server sends me the following message:

X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  1 (X_CreateWindow)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  0
  Resource id in failed request:  0x22a03d
  Serial number of failed request:  4
  Current serial number in output stream:  6

Is it possible to get more information out of the server, inorder to determine
which integer parameter it does not like?   Even better, can anyone decipher 
this error message right away and give me a hint as to what I have to set 
inorder to make this puppy run?



Thanks in advance,

Try using xscope to watch the protocol.  You can see all the
arguments of the request.
