Lines: 41 In-reply-to: razdan@chanakya.oakhill.uucp's message of 6 Feb 90 16:23:06 GMT I built X11R4 and some clientsfrom the contrib dir on a sun 3/470 I ran into following problems : (a) My xterm menus appear humongous i.e. the menu pane almost covers up the whole screen. The twm menu shows up O.K. (b) I experienced simmmilar problem starting emacs. Previously by default emacs would bring up a small window. Now the emacs window is almost 4 to 5 times the screen - so all I have visible is upper left corner. this goes away with if emacs is started with geometry option. Little irritating but it may have some thing to do with (a). (c) In the process of building Makefile for xlock, the original Makefile got trashed and I could not make it to make a make file so I compiled it like the following : xlock: $(OBJS) cc $(CFLAGS) $(OBJS) $(INCLUDES)\ -L/usr/local/lib -lX11 $(SYS_LIBRARIES) -o xlock It compiled alright but when I run xlock it blacks out the screen for a moment but comes back with the following message X Error: BadValue, integer parameter out of range for operation Request Major code 26 () Request Minor code ResourceID 0xffff Error Serial #32 Current Serial #32 I do not have original Makefile. Could somebody give me a fix or clue to a fix. (d) I am having problem getting xmh started. xmh starts and waits for user/twm to place the window and with a flash (one can barely see the outlines of some buttons forming) dies with segmentation fault - no core dumped. Any body got a clue. Anshuman Razdan oakhill!chanakya!razdan@cs.utecas.edu
