Is there anyone out there running X11 on an encore as a client? Our server is an NCD X terminal and we are finding many programs just bomb. Even the X benchmark doesn't get passed first base (not to mention dvi previewing using xdvi). We have reason to believe that it is the encore end at fault. By the way, when you do a man X it talks of a program called Xdm, but this is nowhere to be found. We are running UMAX V 2.2F. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Isaac Balbin, Department of Computer Science, ACSNET: isaac@goanna.oz Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, JANET: isaac%goanna.oz.au@uk.ac.ukc GPO BOX 2476 V, ARPA: isaac%goanna.oz.au@uunet.uu.net Melbourne, 3001, CSNET: isaac%goanna.oz.au@australia AUSTRALIA UUCP: ...!uunet!goanna.oz.au!isaac Phone: +61 3 660 2803 BITNET: isaac%goanna.oz.au@relay.cs.net Fax : +61 3 663 2764 EARN: isaac%goanna.oz.au@uk.ac.rl.earn

I and several other people have running under Umax 4.2. I don't know anything about running it under Umax V. Jim

We ran some X11 clients on UMAX V 2.2f for a while and did run into one or two minor problems although things essentially worked. One thing was that long running X sessions would eventually die off with some error that I can't remember. Another was that doing an ethernet trace showed an apparent continuous stream of data going between an idle emacs X client and the display server. We didn't really delve further into it and have since stopped runing UMAX V but had concluded that the next logical step would be to recompile the X libraries on the encore in order to get to a known state.
