421.0. "X protocol error with Pro E v18" by ZPOVC::MIKEYUN () Wed Apr 16 1997 09:17

    [ Cross posted from WRKSYS::ALPHASTATION ]  
    
    Hi,
        
    I encounter the following error when running Pro E v18 for the
    first time after rebooting on AlphaStation 500/400 with UNIX 4.0a, 
    Open3D 4.2 and 4D40 graphic card.
        
    Xlib: Connection to ":0.0" refused by server
    Xlib: Client is not authorised to connect to server
    An error has occurred. The following chain of information is
    available:
    error1: /Arg/X Display/
    message: unable to Open X display
    errno: 57 : Socket is not connected,
    display name : :0.0
        
        
    After I stop/start the network and restart the apps, I have the 
    following message:
        
    X protocol error : BadValue ( integer parameter out of range for
    operation)
    request code = 51 (X_SetFontPath)
    resource id = 1077338880
    minor code = 0
    major code = 2
    Error Opening Display
        
    Apart from the "X protocol error" message the second time round, I
    am able to start Pro E application successfully. 
        
    
    This is the first time i am installing Pro E. Is there some setenv
    that i missed or perhaps patches ?  BTW, I started off with UNIX 4.0B. 
    Pro E hang during installation.
    
    thanks in advance,
    mike yun

    Second Error -
    
    Read the Pro/E hardware config notes. In it, it says to create the
    following symbolic link -
    
        # cd /usr/lib/X11/fonts
        # ln -s misc MIT
    
    That gets rid of the second error. As you saw, it is not fatal anyway.
    
    For the first error, I have seen this before, but I can't remember
    under exactly what circumstances. I think it had something to do
    with Open 3D not being installed correctly. In any case, the "reboot"
    seems to have cleared that problem for you as well. How did you install
    Open 3D? Were you in single user mode, or mult-user mode? If you were
    in multi-user mode, you would need to reboot to get the Xserver
    restarted with the OpenGL extension running.

421.2ALLVAX::STAATST is for ToddWed Apr 16 1997 12:2014
    The first error looks like a DISPLAY issue. either the DISPLAY
    environment variable is redirected or you're attempting to run
    Pro/E through a different account than the one you've logged into
    the system as. For example if I log in as 'myself' on my workstation,
    perform an 'su' to get to the root account then try to run Pro/E
    i get the following:
    
    Xlib:  connection to ":0.0" refused by server
    Xlib:  Client is not authorized to connect to Server
    Error opening display
    
    Are you running CDE environment or are you running the DXterm windows?
