689.0. "Problem with VRT15 Motif� display" by CSC32::D_DONOVAN (SummaNulla(The High Point of Nothing)) Sat Apr 22 1995 00:26

	I worked with a customer today who is experiencing problems using the 
Motif� display.  He has a AlphaStation 200/4 166 (Mustang) with a VRT15 
monitor.  An example of his problem is that when using the Configuration Editor 
to "Show/Modify" a system, the system pop-up doesn't fit to the physical 
display and the control push-buttons on the bottom are off-screen.  

	I tried the following with him over the phone but as such, I couldn't 
verify that he was doing things "correctly":


	1) I had him create a "xdefaults.dat" with the following line:

		*DXmfitToScreenPolicy: AS_NEEDED

	   ...this was supposed to put slider-bars around the pop-up so 
	   that he could move the push-buttons into view but - it didn't.  

	2) I had him set up a "DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM" with:


		$ DECW$SERVER_DENSITY == "75,75"

	   ...in hopes of making the font size smaller but from what the
	   customer indicated it didn't seem to make a difference in any 
	   screen size and the problem persisted.  

	Has anyone else run into this issue?

Thanks,

Dennis

Dennis,

  This is a known issue, I have rearranged some of the larger dialog boxes 
  for V1.6, maybe you could get your customer to try it when it becomes 
  available and let us know if he/she still has problems.

Cheers,
Phil
