I am runnign X11R4 under SunOs 4.1. When I make a call to XGrabPoiter I get the following X error message: X windows Protocol error: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 26 Minor opcode of failed request: 0 Resource id in failed request: 0x8038 Serial number of failed request: 553 Here's the actual call: XGrabPointer(dpy, menu->menuWindow, FALSE, ButtonReleaseMask | EnterWindowMask | LeaveWindowMask | ExposureMas k, GrabModeAsync, GrabModeAsync, None, None, CurrentTime); This problems only occurs when the menu is in its own top window, and when I am running X11R4 in not in bug compatibility mode. It works in X11R3 and X11R4 in bug compatibilty mode. Any help will greatly be appreciated. +-----------------+---------------------------+-----------------------------+ | Bill Poitras | Polygen Corporation | {princeton mit-eddie | | (bill) | Waltham, MA USA | bu sunne}!polygen!bill | | | | bill@polygen.com | +-----------------+---------------------------+-----------------------------+

From the Xlib document, the description of the event_mask argument is Specifies which pointer events are reported to the client. The mask is the bitwise inclusive OR of the valid pointer event mask bits. From later on, in chapter 8, event type. The following table lists the event category and its associated event type or types. The processing asso- ciated with these events is discussed in section 8.4. ____________________________________________________________ Event Category Event Type ____________________________________________________________ Keyboard events KeyPress, KeyRelease Pointer events ButtonPress, ButtonRelease, Motion- Notify .... ____________________________________________________________ I sure don't see Expose events (to which ExposureMask corresponds) in the list of pointer events, so ExposureMask is an invalid bit to set in the event_mask argument, and the server is entirely correct to complain. der Mouse old: mcgill-vision!mouse new: mouse@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu

This is exactly the X error > message I was getting. So what's going on?? Exactly? I have no idea then. Or was the major opcode still 26, but the "Resource id" something else? Or was the major opcode different? I suspect you are somehow running an R3 xterm which has the bug about passing ~0 as the event-mask to things like XGrabPointer. If "xset bc" hides the problem this is probably what's happening. The proper fix, of course, is to use a version of xterm that isn't buggy. If that's not possible for some reason, using "xset bc" is an acceptable workaround until you can get a working xterm. der Mouse old: mcgill-vision!mouse new: mouse@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu
