2436.0. "X library program crashes back to login ?" by WPOMM2::ZAMBOTTI () Tue Mar 13 1990 03:58

Hello Gurutechs,

I am writing a graphics primitive emulator (HALO) using XLIB and I am having an
occasional hic-up.

Everything works just the way I want it to except if I move other windows (not
created by my application) in front of my window while it is updating, then I
crash back to the login window.

There seems to be no problem moving other windows around when there is no
updating and there is no problem if my window updates behind another stationary
window.  The problem only exists when updating behind other moving/dragging
windows.

The only events that I have allowed for my application are :

	ButtonPressMask
	ButtonReleaseMask
	ResizeRedirectMask

I have not used XSynchronize() but I do have the occasional XSync() is my code.

Anything else relevant?

Any ideas,

Walter Zambotti.

2436.1	Lots more info needed	STAR::VATNE	Peter Vatne, VMS Development	`Tue Mar 13 1990 11:48`	3
	What operating system are we talking? Which version? Assuming VMS, what is in SYS$MANAGER:DECW$SERVER_0_ERROR.LOG?
2436.2	Wrong assumption...	WPOMM2::ZAMBOTTI		`Tue Mar 13 1990 21:57`	5
	I'am using ULTRIX for RISC 3.1 UWS 2.1. Dont know where they hide the error log file on ULTRIX sorry! Walter

	It sounds like your server is crashing. I would check for suspicious entries in /usr/adm/X0msgs and a large /core file. If this is the case, then you should get more recent code, like UWS2.2. Jeff
2436.4	Ok where to go!	WPOMM2::ZAMBOTTI		`Thu Mar 15 1990 21:50`	9
	Yes there was a large /core file (about 2.26 mb's). But no there were no suspicious entries in the /usr/adm/X0msgs file! Where can I get UWS2.2 from anyway? Thanks, Walter.

	Jo-anne Falco (falco@wsl) should be able to tell you how to get it. Jeff
