RE: dde on HPUX using xfree86 on cygwin error

["Harold Hunt" <huntharo at msu dot edu>]

Tim,

By DDE do you mean Dynamic Data Exchange?

If so, then I can add DDE to the feature wish list.

So you have Purify...

We're having a problem with the test servers that I have been releasing
where exiting from an xterm or Ctrl-C'ing a program that was running in a
terminal will cause either the xterm to enter an infinite loop, or it will
cause XWin.exe to exit.  When XWin.exe exits in these cases it doesn't call
any of the normal shutdown routines, nor does it display any error message
whatsoever.  My theory is that some portion of the code is calling exit (),
but the XFree86 source tree is a couple hundred megabytes, so I'd like to at
least have a function name to start looking around in.

Can Purify help find the function that is calling exit ()?

Thanks,

Harold

Subject: dde on HPUX using xfree86 on cygwin error


I got the following error when attempting to run dde off of HPUX:

 X Error of failed request:  86  Major opcode of failed request:  51
(X_SetFontPath)  Serial number of failed request:  108
  Current serial number in output stream:  109

purify will work however!  I also had a question about running a GLX
application from a remote server on a LAN.  The important info is:

I have a MATROX MGA-G200 AGP with 8 megs on board on NT4.0.  I have
downloaded an untarred all xfree86 tar's and xwindows runs.  Using the
xserver remotely for an xwindows application that uses GLX runs very
slowly and my connection is tcp/ip on a LAN.  Can anyone tell me why it
is so slow and how I can speed it up?  According to the mailing list for
xfree86 GLX extensions are supported.  The windows does come up and
works correctly but is extremely slow.

Thanks,

Tim Heath

P.S.

Unforutnately without being able to use dde I will have to use exceed :(
