I hope someone reads this and actually responds.
I cross-mail to these lists as some people I am trying to reach do not
read either of these lists and it touches all (I think).
O/S: FreeBSD 3.0-current as of last few days. X11 3.3.1, compiled here
(mainly to get rid of the libtermcap problem).
Scenario 1:
Xfmail of 17-Nov-97 with xforms 0.88: Compiles fine, then produces
dozens of ``Bad Attribute'' and `Bad Coordinates''. These come from
libX11. Tearing my hair out did not help, so I boot UP (was on SMP).
The problem is... GONE!
Recompile on UP, reboot SMP... Problem is... Yup, GONE!
Scenario 2:
Boot SMP again. Compile and run Xcoral 3.1. Pretty cool editor and
finally can do ``normal'' cut-n-paste, etc. So I set its geometry in
.Xdefaults to =200x400. Nope. Will not chnge size.
I modify parse.c to have the ugly printf you see below:
flags = XParseGeometry ( buf, &x, &y, &width, &he
(void)fprintf(stderr, "%s.%d: x = %d, y = %d, w = %d, h =%d\n",
__FILE__, __LINE__, x, y, width, height);
It says:
parse.c.843: x = -272640524, y = 537577259, w = 200, h = 400
(x, y are corrdinates which are unspecified, which is OK to look this
ugly)
Size is still huge (about 600x800).
So I add another printf:
if ( (width < ((DisplayWidth ( dpy, DefaultScreen (dpy )) * 2 )
|| width > DisplayWidth ( dpy, DefaultScreen (dpy ) ) )
opt->width = (DisplayWidth ( dpy, DefaultScreen (dpy ) ) *7) /
10;
else
opt->width = width;
if ( (height < ((DisplayHeight ( dpy, DefaultScreen (dpy )) * 1
) /5 ))
|| height > DisplayHeight ( dpy, DefaultScreen (dpy ) ) )
opt->height = (DisplayHeight ( dpy, DefaultScreen (dpy ) ) *
6) / 10;
else
opt->height = height;
(void)fprintf(stderr, "%s.%d:width = %d, height = %d\n",
__FILE__, __LINE__, opt->width = width, opt->height);
Guess what? The window now has the specified geometry!
I would not have paid much attention to these, unless I also had the
problem where cc1 dumps core when we run make -j8 world, some times.
Re-boot clears the crashing of the compiler.
I really am NOT a compiler person (what are you simon? dunno...), so I
cannot intelligently proceed without some intelligent help.
If Microsoft Built Cars:
There would be an "Engine Pro" with bigger turbos, but it would be
slower on most existing roads.
Sincerely Yours,
