I'm using Interactive's X11 alpha release on a 386 with a 640x480 EGA card.
Just to get my feet wet, I've tried compiling most of the stuff that has
been posted to comp.sources.x over the last couple of months.
The only program that works is the mazedemo from Sun. Hmm, what are
they trying to tell me?
I also tried the basic window program in O'Reilly's Xlib Programming Manual,
pages 77-82. It worked, except no dashes in the lines and the lines are always
one bit wide.
Being rather new at this, and using an alpha quality product, I find myself
unable to lay blame. Are wide, dashed lines supposed to work? Is the
O'Reilly program bug free? Is my server brain-dead when "dclock" causes
it to spew "protocol error", or is dclock at fault?
Instinct says my X11 is basically unusable, but the urge to develop
has me hoping that it is some kind of cockpit error. Can anybody
say for sure?
