available memory to the xserver how to get the actual size hello everybody i have a little question due to more features pex drag drop many applications when linked with for example motif instead motif need more memory in the xserver x terminals only have limited memory normally no swapping possible so my question is there a possibility to determine via x protocol calls the size of free memory available to the xserver so one can determine for example whether to start a pex application with the css on client side or on server side when there is enough memory please reply via e mail i ll summarize sincerly matthias matthias pfuetzner work home darmstadt frg zgdv wilhelminenstrasse lichtenbergstrasse pfuetzner igd fhg de pfuetzner zgdvda uucp keith packard said r is different from r that s why we changed the release number

re motif vs athena etc in article c k ny azj kirk bu oz au bambi kirk bu oz au david j hughes writes i am also concerned by this prevalence of motif particularly from the point of view of writing and obtaining free software as the linux and bsd communities grow however i think that motif will lose some of its grip at least in the non commercial marketplace ports of motif to both bsd and linux are available for a fee of about this is cost recovery for the person who bought the rights to redistribute the activity in both the bsd and linux news groups pertaining to motif has been high i just wonder if this will also cause a divergence between commercial and non commercial software ie you will only get free software using athena or openlook widget sets and only get commercial software using the motif widget sets i can t see why if just about every workstation will come with motif by default and you can buy it for under for the free unix platforms i can t see this causing major problems i think you will find that the active linux and bsd communities are populated by enthusiasts who would object to paying any money for software otherwise they would probably have gone for a commercial unix an important factor in the linux community is that source code is always available this is probably similar in the bsd community however i m not really involved there many people using linux like to stay at the cutting bleeding edge ie when kernel patches c library or compiler patches come out people like to rebuild their entire systems the prime requirement for all linux software is that it is available under a gnu style public license hence linux software uses either the athena widgets or xview individuals may write software requiring motif but i doubt it is widely adopted regards richard gooch

re motif vs athena etc in article c k ny azj kirk bu oz au bambi kirk bu oz au david j hughes writes berry durian citr uq oz au andrew berry writes ports of motif to both bsd and linux are available for a fee of about this is cost recovery for the person who bought the rights to redistribute the activity in both the bsd and linux news groups pertaining to motif has been high i just wonder if this will also cause a divergence between commercial and non commercial software ie you will only get free software using athena or openlook widget sets and only get commercial software using the motif widget sets i can t see why if just about every workstation will come with motif by default and you can buy it for under for the free unix platforms i can t see this causing major problems let me add another of my concerns yes i can buy a port of motif for cheap but i cannot get the source for cheap hence i am limited to using whatever x libraries the motif port was compiled against at least with older versions of motif i have been told that motif can be used with any x but i have not seen it myself currently i have x r running on eight different unix platforms of which only three came with motif on those three i am unable to use the x r libraries to build motif clients because i get link errors between the vendor supplied port of motif and my x r i anticipate having this same problem when x r becomes available the result is that i cannot build motif clients that rely on x r since i do not have motif compiled under x r true i could buy another port of motif but that sort of ruins the whole idea of free doesn t it cheers tom mcconnell tom mcconnell internet tmcconne sedona intel com intel corp c phone w chandler blvd the opinions expressed are my own no one in chandler az their right mind would claim them

opinions on galaxy we are currently evaluating gui builders initially for motif but with a wish to be flexible portable we have been through the popular names uimx teleuse xvt etc and have been very impressed with what we have seen of galaxy from visix i have spoken to current users from a list supplied by visix happy users as you would expect and seen favourable comments on the net however since it is fairly expensive to get an evaluation license from visix i would like to query the net for any negative experiences with galaxy did anybody evaluate them and prefer another tool or use galaxy and regret it or find any mis features advthanksance phil phil m gray voice macdonald dettwiler fax commerce parkway richmond bc canada v v j pmg mda ca uunet van bc mdavcr pmg

multi screen apps and window managers i am working on a project to provide an emergency management information system in keeping with more classic command and control type systems we are considering developing a dual screen monitor system in order to provide a status board on it s own monitor i have a number of x level questions regarding this we are devloping on unix systems using x motif platform will be predominantly sun s probably with ports to rs as well i am assuming the standard dual monitor systems are configured such that we are talking about one x display and multiple screens and not multiple x displays given this is changing input focus from one screen to the other as simple as tracking your mouse from one screen to the other there s nothing special that needs to be done to shift focus between screens do i have to run separate window managers on the separate screens or are there multiscreen window managers out there what are they who sells them is a multi screen window manager the only way i can grab a window frame and move a window from one screen to the next is there any way for the application to transparently see multiple screens as one logical x y plane or does the hardware only provide for each screen to start at any thoughts on the difficulties involved with designing a system capable of using either multiple screens or a single screen perhaps running a virtual window manager to simulate multiple screens instead i am assuming that this is not a major issue that i can rely on providing config files which will specify for each configuration the screen placement of each window in the application any thoughts or suggestions from past experience are more than welcome jo pelkey phone battelle pacific northwest labs fax mail stop k email je pelkey pnl gov p o box richland wa

re x server multi screen from article apr eafs ca boeing com by ten eafs ca boeing com timothy e neto rainer sun eeam elin co at rainer hochreiter writes i ve seen a lot of different terms which seem to mean the same thing who can give an exact definition what these terms mean multi screen multi headed multi display x server zaphod mode is there a limit how many screens displays a single server can handle in an articel a read something about an upper limit of how is the capability called if i want to move the cursor from one screen display to another as to how many clients may be display on a server i believe the limit would be how much memory is available to your server or allocated by the server this all sounds suspiciously like my company might have something to do with this background first megatek has a series of framebuffers designed as x accelerators for the most part these are designed for sun sbus and sun and other vendor s vme systems that said megatek products support multi screen and or multi display on a sigle workstation most of our cards have a keyboard mouse port which can be used to provide additional displays for example say you hade a sparcstation with an sbus expansion chassis you could put in six frambuffers allowing a total of six screens in the system you could then attach from to keyboard mice allowing you to mix and match any combination of screens and displays you could have screen display screen displays screen displays or screen display and screen display basically any combination because of this we at megatek try to be very careful about the use of the words multi screen and multi display they are quite different in meaning and at least in x have exact definitions the reason i ramble like this is the mention of an upper limit if screens in a display as it so happens there s a define in the server that determines the most screens supported server include misc h maxscreens as released my mit this is as released by megatek this is as such the most screens supported by a single megatek display i e x server is if someone construed this to be a limitation of x i m sorry but clearly as pointed out so well by mr neto this is not the case we just did it here because nobody has ever asked us for more of course i could say buy all you want we ll support more rusty sanders megatek corp rgs megatek com or ucsd hplabs hp sdd ames scubed uunet

re compiling help here s what i think have figured out all i need to do is install the r disitribution without the xserver like the sony cf file defines and all the new libraries utils etc will be installed and my old server from r will still work this will allow me to run xview and have x r up and running does the server interface remain the same with all changes made only to the libs another question is it likely that since sun is dropping ow support that the desktop utils like the file manager will be made public it would be nice if companies would make old code public for the benefit of those of us with smaller budgets mike hopper acs virginia edu i will not raise taxes on the middle class unknown

xterm cursor forgive me if this is a faq i have checked the list but i cant find it i have a problem with the cursor within xterm on mono not grayscale monitors the problem is that when i have an character application that displays input fields in reverse video the xterm text cursor gets lost on the edge of the input field the solution would appear to be to set the xterm cursor to a line rather than a block but how do you do this i can t find any means although various sources seem to indicate it can be done when the xterm loses the input focus the cursor becomes an outlined block this would also be preferable but i can t seem to force this to be the default either configuration is motorola k x r please reply by email if poss thank you steve weet european mis motorola cellular subscriber group beechgreen court chineham basingstoke hants england phone e mail stevew chineham euro csg mot com fax mobile post w steve weet european mis motorola cellular subscriber group beechgreen court chineham basingstoke hants england phone e mail stevew chineham euro csg mot com fax mobile post w

r table widget causing trouble with xtquerygeometry contents problems with table widgets in r the following part of a program an user interface for a simulation system did work in r but refused to in r of cause the r version did not know about the xptablewidgetclass we used tablewidgetclass instead caught from the net in times of r and xptablechildposition formerly xttblposition since compiling with r the program causes a zero width or height error on sparc stations the trouble shooter is the re computation of the model init table table widget though its childs label and asciitext widgets exist xtquerygeometry returns a prefered width and height of zero thus the following asignment cannot perform anything else but set the width and height of the newly created widget to zero no wonder xtpopup or xtmanage child create zero width or height errors dependent on whether width and height of the shell widget are set in the resource file or not question does anyone know why xtquerygeometry

re xcopyplane question in article whaley apr sigma kpc com whaley sigma kpc com ken whaley writes actually i must also ask the faq s most popular reason why graphics don t show up do you wait for an expose event before drawing your rectangle suppose you have an idle app with a realized and mapped window that contains xlib graphics a button widget when pressed will cause a new item to be drawn in the window this action clearly should not call xcopyarea or equiv directly instead it should register the existence of the new item in a memory structure and let the expose event handler take care of rendering the image because at that time it is guaranteed that the window is mapped the problem of course is that no expose event is generated if the window is visible and mapped do you know the best way to tickle a window so that the expose event handler will be invoked to draw this new item
