Hmm. Strange. I'm running right now with NMBUFS=500 and have no problems. Something weird's going on here... >The next problem is less funny: Both xload and xcalc behave in a very >interesting, but slightly less than useful, way. >xload looks like this: >+----------------------+ >| | >|XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX | >+----------------------+ and stays that way, with the XX part being totally >black (and the cursor acts as if it were a scroll bar). >xcalc places all its buttons at semi-random locations. I don't see that problem here. I'm under X11R4 right now, with an xload sitting happily in the lower right-hand corner just graphing away. Xcalc also comes up normally. >gcc may have a problem here. :-( Which version of gcc are you using? I'm using gcc 1.37 (ftp'ed from apple.com) and have had no problems except with a few clients (xfd, puzzle, xterm in Tek mode) that coredump unless you define -fwritable-strings (the problem being sscanf of a string constant where the A/UX stdio lib's ungetc tries to write on the scanned string). Also, which version of A/UX are you using? I'm using A/UX 1.1. Are you using 1.0 by any chance? -- Richard Todd rmtodd@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu rmtodd@chinet.chi.il.us rmtodd@servalan.uucp "Cancelling a posted message means posting a cancel message."-Maarten Litmaath
