[comp.windows.x] texx

margaret@ms.uky.edu (toe_sucker in the dark) (11/24/88)

I am running X11R3 on a Microvax II GPX with qd driver and Vaxstation
2000 with sg driver. They are running ULTRIX 2.2 . When I try to use
texx both of those systems crash with panic: Segmentation fault. The
same version of texx (from R3 distribution + fix to adjust the byte
order for ULTRIX) runs fine on Vaxstations 2000 with Xqvss server.  If
anybody has any ideas why that happens, I would appreciate any hints

					Thanks,

Setup: R3 on Sun3/160 SunOS 4.0, R4 on Sun4/110 SunOS 4.0

I'm not sure if this is a recognised problem, but one or two clients
with R3 libraries are having problems talking to an R4 server.  It's
always an `X Protocol error', eg:

[ home grown program... ]
X Protocol error:  BadMatch, invalid parameter attributes
  Major opcode of failed request:  62 (X_CopyArea)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  0
  Resource id in failed request:  0xa00011
  Serial number of failed request:  53
  Current serial number in output stream:  54

[ texx... ]
X Protocol error:  BadMatch, invalid parameter attributes
  Major opcode of failed request:  70 (X_PolyFillRectangle)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  0
  Resource id in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  33
  Current serial number in output stream:  214

I can guess that the R3 code is either doing something `unofficial'
that is no longer valid, or that R4 really does expect different
attributes from the ones being sent.  If the former, perhaps I only
need to set up something that should have been done anyway, but it
somehow didn't matter in R3?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Also, what's the best book for introducing X from the programmer's
point of view?
