I recently loaded X11R4 on the RT I use following Michael Brantley's posting and patches. The server seems to work fine (up to a point). Without any .xinitrc, the server starts and a xterm window pops up on the Megapel display. However, when I use a .xinitrc file which launches several terminals and twm (Tab Window Manager), the server bombs. Has anyone successfully gotten X11R4 to work on an RT? And if so, have you gotten any window managers to work? Thanks for any assistance. -- ******************************************************* Geoff Ghose School of Optometry 360 Minor Hall Univ. of California Berkeley, CA 94720 (415) 642-6440 Fax: (415) 642-3323 NeXT Mail: geoff@pinoko.berkeley.edu

I am using X11R4 on my RT all the time now, but I do NOT use twm. It blows up on my system too. I either use gwm or run mwm from the neighborhood rs6000. jew@sunquest.com Confucious say... Courage is your greatest present need.

If you're running 4.3, then I'm not sure why you're having problems. We run R4+twm here all the time, and everything seems to work fine. >Has anyone successfully gotten X11R4 to work on an RT? And if so, >have you gotten any window managers to work? We have people running mwm, twm, tvtwm, and uwm regularly. I'm not aware of any major problems with any of them. If you're running AIX, well, maybe someone else in the audience has been through this and can help.

We have been running AIX (but switched to AOS, a relief!) and never got any windowmanagers to run either. There is no X11R4 server, I guess you still use the R3 server. It also did not work when the wm ran on another host with -display aix-system:0. You'd better give it up. -- Peter Mutsaers email: muts@fys.ruu.nl Rijksuniversiteit Utrecht muts@fysak.fys.ruu.nl Princetonplein 5 tel: (+31)-(0)30-533880 3584 CG Utrecht, Netherlands

I am running X11R4 pl18, server and all, on an RT with AIX 2.2.1 and have had no significant problems. Twm will occasionally memory fault when a remote client has problems, but I have never had a server die. Let me know if you want the diffs that I made to get it running. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-%-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- "Chance favors the prepared mind."
