[comp.sys.mips] RS 2030 / X-windows question

cliff@.UCalgary.CA (09/29/89)

Hi Netters :

  I have what is really an X-Windows question, but since I'm running
  on an MIPS RS 2030 (RISC/os 4.10 & RISCwindows 3.0), I thought I would
  post this here...

  I'm attempting to send a "ButtonPress" event from one X-client to another
  running on the same server using "XSendEvent".  Specifically, I want
  the other client to see a simulated mouse-button press event.  I've been able
  to have "the other client" successfully send this event to itself, so I 
  believe that the target client for this event is ok.  The problem is when
  I attempt to send this event from another client "XSendEvent" fails.

  Doing a "XGetErrorText" immediately after the failure returns the message :

  "BadRequest, invalid request code or no such operation"

  Since I'm relatively nw to X-windows and I still haven't received my 
  workstation docs yet, I'm hoping someone out there has encountered this before
  and can fill me fill on what to try next.  Or perhaps an X-guru out there
  listening has some ideas..?

  Many Thanks in advance.

Cliff
