[comp.windows.x] need help on tvtwm

soung@montage.metaphor.com (Jerry Soung) (09/05/90)

Would anybody take time to answer me this question.  I've 
compiled the tvtwm (including the 1st patch) source from 
comp.sources.x and run it on my sun3, OS 4.1.  It cannot 
recognize the variable line

	VirtualDesktop "3000x2000"

I either got core dumped or error message pointing to the 
above line in the .twmrc.  

If I take out that line, the tvtwm can run but not the way I 
expected.  I cannot find the panner on the desktop.  I can move
an individual window off the physical screen but cannot scroll 
the desktop.  When I moved the cursor to a window, its border 
is blackened instead of inverted.

My environment is a little bit wired here.  All the X stuff are on
the main file server and are mounted to my Sun.  I just compiled
the tvtwm in my local directory and ran it there.  This worked
fine for several other X applications.

Any answers, or comments about how stupid my question is, are 
welcomed.  Thanks in advance.
