----- Has anyone managed to make XRN work properly with DECwindows under Ultrix 4.0? When I run the "latest and greatest" version (xrn 6.9), I find that the cursor (carat) does not appear in any of the displays. This is inconvenient, to put it mildly. When I roll back to xrn 5.4, this problem is solved. However, with either version, XRN seems to chow memory like there was no tomorrow - doing a "ps aux" while running it shows that it uses 65% (over 14MB) of the memory on a 24MB DS5000/200PX. Needless to say, this doesn't do much good for any other processes running on the machine. The same binaries, when run on an 3.1C-0 system use much more reasonable amounts of memory - around 1MB (which seems to be pretty standard for X programs). Any hints or ideas? Thanks, --Vince

The latest version that I can find which doesn't exhibit the "no cursor" problem is 6.4. I have yet to find a version that isn't a memory pig on a 4.0 system. Doesn't anyone have a reasonable version of xrn running on an Ultrix 4.0 system?? Thanks, --Vince

Before I left my "previous place of employment" :-), we were running xrn 6.9 on Ultrix 4.0 running on DECstation 3100's with no problem. I don't recall the need for any patches. I hope you're not defining R3. None of the optional configuration options were necessary, except possible for DEC_FOCUS_PATCH if you use dxwm. Have you tried the same binary on a DS3100 instead of your DS5000? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike Yang Silicon Graphics, Inc. mikey@sgi.com 415/335-1786
