[gnu.emacs.bug] Problem with GNU Emacs.

davidh@eros.Berkeley.EDU (David S. Harrison) (02/25/89)

I recently switched to DECwindows UWS 2.0 from MIT X11 release 3 on
a VAXstation 3500/GPX (I also upgraded to Ultrix 3.0 from Ultrix 2.2).
My primary editor is GNU Emacs.  After a short period of time,  emacs
reports the following:

Xlib: sequence lost (0x10000 > 0xd85a) in reply type 0x0!

Emacs then stops functioning and appers to go into some kind of
infinite loop that beats on the server until I kill the emacs.
I remember a short discussion some months ago on this topic
but I can't remember the outcome.  I am desparate -- this problem
is a show-stopper for me.

I have been having a problem with my GNU Emacs. Whenever I use
a sequence with C-S in it like search-forward and saving-buffers,
I scroll lock the terminal. It is as if Emacs hasn't read the
C-S at all. Then I have to type C-q to unlock the screen.
I am using a terminal with vt100 settings and default
Emacs settings. 

Can somebody help me out of this problem?

Try     M-x (enable-flow-control)

This sets C-] equal to C-s so that you won't be locking the screen
scroll (which I know can be very annoying). Now, C-] will invoke
I-search and likewise C-x C-s will invoke save-buffer, etc.

If this is what your looking for just insert (enable-flow-control) in
your .emacs file.

I suggested (enable-flow-control) which I have since learned is local
only to SUNY at Buffalo. Sorry 'bout that, I'll do better next 
time 8^).
