[comp.unix.ultrix] dxpsview crashes

hgschulz@ecs.umass.edu (09/10/90)

We are running Ultrix 4.0. Dxpsview starts fine, but crashes as soon as
it reads a file with the error message:
X Protocol error detected by server:  BadAlloc - insufficient resources
  Failed request major op code 53 (X_CreatePixmap)
  Failed request minor op code 0 (if applicable)
  ...

I tried executing dxpsview from a remote machine (different version of
Ultrix) using the local machine as a X terminal, but with the same
dismal result. Any clue what I am doing wrong?

If you are using a 200PX the addendum to the release notes says you
have to start dxpsview, select "watch progress" from the menu, and
then load the file or dxpsview will die.  I have this problem, it may be
yours too.

This generally means that you do not have enough memory or swap space
on your server machine.
