[comp.windows.x] X startup stangeness

garyo@THINK.COM (Gary Oberbrunner) (01/09/90)

Every so often, when I'm starting up my server (vanilla X11R4, color Sun
4/110, gwm 1.5.1.5), I get the following message from one or more of my
clients:

Xlib:  warning, client built for newer rev (11) than server (0)!
Xlib:  connection to "unix:0.0" refused by server
Xlib:  yellowWunix:0.0H

The last message of the three is always some different garbage.  In this
case, the messages came from xload, but I see them from various clients.
Normally, all these applications work fine, and about 50% of the time X
comes up fine for me.  I start up 11 clients immediately on startup, as the
gwm is getting going.  This loads the machine down a bit.  But what could
make the server tell the client that it is Rev 0???

I also get some sporadic toolkit messages along the same lines, in the same
conditions:

X Toolkit Error: Can't Open display

etc.

Any ideas?  I've sent this both to xpert and gwm-bugs, in case it's some
kind of window manager interaction.

I got this error when I initially installed X11R4 on my sparc by
copying all of the necessary files from the machine that the release
was built on...  I should have known better than to think I was
smarter than the X Consortium people...  I got the same message.. I
felt guilty about taking the shortcut, and mounted the source tree on
my machine, and "install"ed X11R4 on my sparc, and everything's been
hunky dory since....  I must commend everyone involved with the
project for an extremely fine product, and especially Bob Scheifler
and all of the other people on expo who so enthusiastically support
their product.  Thanks.
