I am running X11R4 on sun3s & sun4s running SunOS 4.0.3.
When i try to run xlock i get the following error message.
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 26 (X_GrabPointer)
Minor opcode of failed request: 0
Resource id in failed request: 0xffff
Serial number of failed request: 29
Current serial number in output stream: 29
Does anyone know what this means and/or what to do to fix it.

X11R4 does not allow a -1 in the even mask which is what most people used with X11R3 to mean all events. I'm not sure what the accepted fix for these kinds of problems are, but all you need to do is change two lines in xlock.c on the XGrabPointer calls changing the -1 to a 0. Following is what I changed it to: | v status = XGrabPointer(dsp, w, True, 0, GrabModeAsync, GrabModeAsync, None, mycursor, CurrentTime); The 0 that is marked is a -1 in the original code. There are two occurances of this call, so you can just do a search for XGrabPointer and change the lines. -- Brett McCoy | The amount you can learn in a given period of brtmac@ksuvm.bitnet | time is inversely proportional to the time left brtmac@maverick.ksu.ksu.edu | until you will be tested on said material.

Machine: Sun 4/260 X-windows version: R4 OS version: SunOs 4.0.3 xlock version: R3 xset bc done. Problem: Every time xlock is invoked through the mouse button, I get the message on the console window: client illegibly changed colormap (i = 0, j = -1 The patterns do not come out in color although I do manage to see some small dots(of pattern) in color and the screen remains predominantly black. Other than this the xlock seems to be working properly. I saw someone post a similar problem but I did not see a solution to this. Any pointers? ==Giridhar Coorg==

As with any new release of software the nit list is growing.
In resource.c: ctype.h needs to be included on some machine/os
combinations (not mine!) otherwise isupper() is undefined.
In xlock.c: I left off the volume parameter in a call to XBell().
In hopalong.c: There is a bad cast to int.
The ctype.h problem is the only one which should cause problems...
The version on expo has been updated (contrib/xlock.shar.2.0.Z)
