I have just installed X11R3 on a Sun 4/110 running OS 4.0. The build seemed to go reasonably well (see below) and things mostly work except for a couple of irritating points that I have been unable to solve. This is my first ever X installation so don't be too harsh if these are obvious points. The main problem is that Xsun does not seem to know that I have a color monitor. The program constype reports that I have a cg4, but xdpyinfo insists that I have a single screen, one plane deep. The second more minor point, but one that makes me suspect that something deeper may be wrong, is that while all of the other tools in the core that I have tried seem to work, xedit dies immediately with a segmentation fault before putting anything on the screen. The build itself reported only two warnings which I have listed below because I have no idea whether they are nuisance or serious. Both warnings seem to be involved in the build of makedepend. The first is a compiler warning. >> making ../.././util/makedepend/makedepend >> cc -O -I ../../. '-DINCLUDEDIR="/usr/include"' -sun4 -c include.c >> cc -O -I ../../. '-DINCLUDEDIR="/usr/include"' -sun4 -c main.c >> "main.c", line 75: warning: illegal pointer combination The second is a make warning. >> depending in ./fonts >> depending in bdftosnf make: Warning: Too many rules defined for target ../.././util/makedepend/makedepend Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

This happens on the Solbourne machines (which are Sun4 compatible machines), as well, so it sounds like there is a general Sun 4-related problem here. Maybe word-alignment? In a possibly-related area, I noted that the editor widget as used by xcalendar doesn't recognize keyboard input. It does recognize mouse events. When run under dbx, the editor works fine the first time it is invoked in a session, but subsequent invocations are broken. -- David Elliott ...!pyramid!boulder!stan!dce "Splish splash, I was rakin' in the cash" -- Eno
