[comp.sys.sgi] X on the Personal Iris

venkat@csun4.cs.uh.edu (Venkat Viswanathan) (02/11/90)

I am writing some code using Xlib and the athena widgets on a Personal
Iris ( IRIX 3.2 ) and am running into a few problems.

1) Doing an xdpyinfo and using macros I get the info. that the server
   does use a backing store and does save unders. But my applications
   keep getting expose events and the screen flash is quite irritating.
   Also expose events for widgets specify the entire area of the widget
   instead of the exposed area. I have specified save unders explicitly
   for my popups. 

2) Xsgi keeps crashing on a regular basis and dumps core onto the root
   partition. It regenerates itself automatically though.

Anybody experienced similar problems?

Any and all help welcome.
