I am having the following problems with my DECWindows server under UWS V2.0 on my color VS2000: 1) I get "Xlib: Sequence lost" error messages. Mostly when running GNU Emacs and I get them when running local, with a SUN 3/260 (SUNOS V4) as the client machine, and with a VAX 11/785 (4.3 BSD) as the client! After about 3 of these messages, emacs freezes and must be "kill"ed! 2) CLX (Franz Allegro CL with CLX/XCW) running on the Sun 3/260 consistantly gives a sequence lost message. Interestingly, it expected 7 and got 1792. Since 7*256 is 1792, I suspect that there may be a "big-endian" (which CLX wants) and "little-endian" (which is native to the VS2000) problem! The problem occurs on X protocol opcode QueryFont (47) and is consistant! The first few bytes of the reply by the VS2000 server as recieved by CLX (as best I can tell) are: 1 0 7 0 0 0 2 215 255 255 0 1 0 6 255 255 255 250 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 0 7 0 6. 3) Using XGetImage followed by XPutImage works fine with ZPixmap, but draws garbage using XYPixmap (although the garbage is strongly related to the original image!)! In a related problem, "xwd -xy | xpr -device ps" produces a postscript file that prints garbage very similar to the garbage produced when using XYPixmap format. Also, using XCopyArea from the root window including subwindows to a pixmap and then using XCopyArea to copy that pixmap to a window (i.e. xsnap) produces garbage (but again, garbage related to the starting contents)! 4) Many of the cursors (including the upper-left, lower-left, upper-right and lower-right brackets) have "dirt" (i.e. random bits set) at the bottom of the cursor area! Does anyone have any information to share about these problems?? I am especially interested in fixing the sequence lost problem with CLX since it is preventing work from my VS2000!!!

To my knowledge, a fix is not yet available, but the problem is being worked on. Win Treese Cambridge Research Lab treese@crl.dec.com Digital Equipment Corp.
