Hi, I've been trying to install X11 R4 on our network of Sun 3/50's and Sun Sparcstations. The make World runs smoothly and there seem to be no problems on the black and white monitors, but there is a video offset problem on the color Sparcs. The problem is that the server sees the vertical edge of the root window as different from the true physical edge. It shifts the right edge over by about 3 inches. I have applied patches up to 11, too, and they went in smoothly. Any ideas? Thanks a lot, Bill Anderson

Make sure you build the server using the same revision of SunOS as you will be running on the clients -- the header files which describe the frame buffer structure changed when the SparcStation came out. I'm not sure of the relation between the various versions of SunOS, but I'd compare the various files in /usr/include/sundev/ to see what's what. If you were to build the server on the sparcstation directly, I'd expect things would work just fine. Keith Packard MIT X Consortium
