[comp.windows.x] HP X11 server bug?

hesh@lll-crg.llnl.gov (Chris Steinbroner) (10/25/88)

i tried using the program `dclock` but it produced a server error:

	X Protocol error detected by server: parameter mismatch
	  Failed request major op code 70 X_PolyFillRectangle
	  Failed request minor op code 0 (if applicable)
	  ResourceID 0x500006 in failed request (if applicable)
	  Serial number of failed request 24
	  Current serial number in output stream 163
	  Child process did an exit (1)

i contacted the author; he said he's seen this problem on
an ibm pc running aix.  the problem was a bug in the server.

does anybody know what the bug was?  i'd like to apply
the fix to the HP X11 server.

thanks,
