Has anyone run an Xview client (either one of the Sun provided programs, such as cmdtool, or your own program) on a Sun CPU using a DEC DS3100 as a server? This is what happens when we try to do it: X Error: BadValue, integer parameter out of range for operation Request Major code 118 () Request Minor code ResourceID 0x68 Error Serial #84 Current Serial #84 Can anyone give me a clue what this means? By the way, it works (though not perfectly) with a MAC II running A/UX. Also, does anybody have any information on ports of the XView toolkit to the DS3100? Thanks, Alan Parker, Entropic Speech, Inc. uunet!epiwrl!parker 202 547-1420 parker@wrl.epi.com

I built the entire Sun contribution (XView and olwm) on my DS3100 before the R4 was cut; I had a few problems, but I think the major problems have been fixed and it should build with little difficulty. I've also run all of the XView clients against the R4 server on the DS3100 and they work fine; except that XView uses a private protocol to manage the CLIPBOARD selection and so the R4 xclipboard client confuses things quite a bit. Use the bits from R4 though, the earlier versions of XView could only be built with a nearly-ansi compiler (the DS3100 compiler is still stone age in some respects). Keith Packard MIT X Consortium
