[comp.windows.x] capturing protocol requests?

jsw@lorax.umiacs.umd.edu (Jeff Webber) (10/03/89)

Is it possible to capture protocol requests recieved by an X server so that
they may be examined?  I use a program that runs fine on a DECstation
3100 when using it as the X server but fails with a nonexistent font
or colorname if I use a sun for the server.  I would like to see what font
was being requested. 

thanks for any help.

Have you tried Xscope?

If not it is available from xanth.cs.odu.edu in
/usenet/comp.sources.x/volume2/xmonitor via anonymous ftp.
Be sure to set binary mode. There are four parts to the program.
