1716.0. "Xqdsg wakeup failed" by KERNEL::CARLETONL (Hold a chicken in the air ...) Fri Nov 10 1989 05:55

    Hello all again,
    
    Can anyone tell me what the error message:
    	" Xflush: server wakeup failed, operation blocked" 
    means.
    
    Here is the context:
    The customer is trying to display a client window on a VS2000 (11Mb)
    from a DS3100 (8Mb) both running UWS 2.0. He gets this after about
    28 minutes of sending the output window to the VS2000. If he recompiles
    the code on the VS2000 and sends the display to the DS3100, it responds
    in about 1 minute with a window on the DS3100 screen.
    
    Can anyone also help me to solve the problem, will upgrading both
    systems to 2.1 aleviate it, or do we have a bug (sorry, feature)
    in the Xqdsg server. Both are colour (or color to our American friends)
    systems and both are Ultrix.
    
    HELP! ... Les

1716.1More windows?KERNEL::CARLETONLHold a chicken in the air ...Thu Dec 07 1989 05:0114
    Hi again guys,
    
    It appears that my customer is coming up against the limit on the
    number of windows he can create on the VS2000, so I now ask the
    question ...
    
    Is it possible to increase the max number of displayable windows
    on a X system (VS2000)  by changing a parameter somewheres.
    
    Many thanks to all who repond

Up the swap variables.  Also, get more memory if there is still space.

    Any particular swap variables?

    The default swap partition on a VS 2000 is 'b'.  
    You are always better off swapping on two separate disks, or,
    a bigger swap partition.
    
    Also, avoiding some of the colossal dx* clients should help.
    Dxterm can be replaced with xterm, dxsession with xdm, shutting
    off dxue on startup, etc..
    
    
    Use 'chpt(8)' and 'newfs(8)' with great care.  A more thorough
    discussion on altering disk partitions is at NAC::ULTRIX
    
    From the ULTRIX man pages...
