[comp.unix.ultrix] X11 cursor error under DECwindows

habibi@rainbow.ecn.purdue.edu (Shidan Habibi) (10/29/90)

I have just moved from a networked SUN 3/50s 
(Sun OS 4.0.3; running twm, X11 V.R4  backward 
compatible with R3)to networked DEC 3100s 
(ultrix; running DecWindows, X11 R3).
I am attempting to run an X application on 
the DECS which I had developed on the SUNs.

Does anyone out there know how I must set up my 
environment in ultrix so that my X program 
behaves the same as it did before on
the SUNs.

I have a specific problem.

1.  My program uses a single client server 
with multiple displays.  In another words, my 
program accesses other workstation displays.

Note:  The host for the application is named mickey.
	The remote display is located on goofy.

This is what happens when it tries 
to access the display:

(mickey /usr/users/habibi/Gdss][5] run
Enter number of participants: 1
Enter name of display 1 : goofy:0

X Protocol error detected by server: parameter not a Cursor
  Failed request major op code 1 X_CreateWindow
  Failed request minor op code 0 (if applicable)
  ResourceID 0x600007 in failed request (if applicable)
  Serial number of failed request 78
  Current serial number in output stream 101



The application appears for an extremely short period 
of time on goofy's display.

Please send any responses to:

habibi@ecn.purdue.edu

If there is an interest, I will post a summary 
of the responses.

Thanks in advance.

You didn't post any code, but it sounds like you're doing a
XCreateWindow with an attributes structure and mask and the cursor
specified in the structure is not valid for this display.
