Message-ID: <6846.25dae293@swift.cs.tcd.ie> Date: 15 Feb 90 17:10:43 GMT Organization: Computer Science Department, Trinity College Dublin Lines: 28 Version: R3 Client Machine and Operating System: Sun 3/60 C, SunOS 3.5 Display Type: Sun cgfour, MIT R3 sample server Window Manager: uwm Area: X protocol Description: I tried to run a program on the above environment, the main window appears and then clashes. The following error message was given: X protocol error: BadIDchoice, invalid resource ID chosen for this connection. Major opcode of failed request: 1 (X_CreateWindow) Minor opcode of failed request: 0 Resource id in failed request: 0x16e0169 Serial number of failed request: 87 Current serial number in output stream: 93 Can someone tell me where I can find what each of these mean, please? The same program runs properly when I send it to another server on a DECstation 3100. The Sun has 8M of RAM and about 30M of swap space whereas the DECstation has 16M of RAM with about 100M of swap space. Thanks in advace. Ghee Teo
