I've just installed X386 on my ESIX box (8 Mb, Tseng Labs SVGA, NEC 3D, 125 MB RLL, 209 MB SCSI) and I'm having a problem with programs that are associated with olwm (which I prefer because I use it on SUN's as well). Whenever I attempt to start a cmdtool, shelltool or spider (there may be others) from the command line I receive the following error message: X error of failed request: Bad Value (integer parameter out of range for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 118 (X_SetModifierMapping) Minor opcode of failed request: 0 Resource id in failed request: 0x70 Serial number of failed request: 15 Current serial number in output stream: 15 If I try to start these apps from a menu I get no messages but they still won't start. What gives? Any help would be much appreciated. BTW All other apps work ok. X386 is very fast. Great work. Thanks in advance, Glenn -- ___________________________________________________________________________ Glenn Geers | "So when it's over, | we're back to people.

The X386.1.1 server that came in that binary distribution worked just fine. I don't like the keyboard mapping X386 does very much anyway. On my 84-key keyboard (I really *hate* those 101/102 things and hope mine never breaks) at least the HOME end END keys produce the same code (ESC-O). The "main" keys are taken from the current keyboard map, so I can put umlauts etc. there, but function keys and the keypad are overridden somewhere. Haven't looked at it closely yet. |> BTW All other apps work ok. X386 is very fast.
