XDBX PROBLEMS:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I am running 1.0 OpenWindows on a Sparc station (SunOS 4.0.3c). I
recently compiled the R3 client xdbx (from the MIT ftp site) but am
having trouble getting xdbx to work.
The symptom is this:
type: xdbx <file>
The area of the screen with all those little boxes allowing you to choose
which operation you'd like (ie. "stop at", "print", "list" etc.), well, when
you place your cursor into that area, the progam aborts.
return: Segmentation violation
___________________________________________________________________________
XTERM PROBLEMS:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Under the same operating system, and version of OpenWindows, but also using
Version 1.0 of MOTIF, I am having problems with scroll bars on the xterm
windows.
The symptom is this:
type: xterm -sb
return:
X Error: BadValue, integer parameter out of range for operation
Request Major code 2 ()
Request Minor code
ResourceID 0x900016
Error Serial #54
Current Serial #55

Has anyone else had the same problems, or might know what I am doing wrong?
Thx in advance.

I don't think this has anything to do with Motif. In my experience, you can
solve this problem by (1) not using scrollbars on xterm; (2) using the
xterm provided on the X11r3 tape. This is an client(X11r2)-->server(X11r3)
incompatibility due to a change in the protocol. (so much for backward
compatibility)....
