[comp.windows.x] Problem building X11R4 on sparc

rculley@hslrswi.hasler.ascom.ch ( Roy Culley) (10/17/90)

I cannot get xterm to run on a sparc SLC running Sunos 4.1. The X core
distribution was compiled on a sun server (model 470) under Sunos 4.1.
Patches 1 to 14 have been incorporated. The message below is output
when X is started up.

xterm:  warning, error event receieved:
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of
					      range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  28 (X_GrabButton)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  0
  Resource id in failed request:  0xc
  Serial number of failed request:  53
  Current serial number in output stream:  59

Other clients (apart from xman) run successfully. I do this by making
them connect to another server as I obviously can't get X to even
start due to xterm crashing. Has anyone encountered this problem? I'm
getting really desperate. I've checked and double checked the config
files but can't see anything wrong. I've tried compiling with
different levels of optimisation and still the same problem. Being a
mere X user the above error message means nothing to me. Any help
would be gratefully appreciated.
