___________________________________________________________________________ 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. -- Andrew MacLean ...uunet!mnetor!censor!isgtec!andrew Success is a journey, not an adventure! ...utzoo!censor!isgtec!andrew ISG Technologies Inc. 3030 Orlando Dr. Mississauga. Ont.

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)....
