5761.0. "Display Postscript hangs on V7.1" by SOS4::BERNARD (Bernard Ourghanlian, Alpha Resource Center) Wed Jan 29 1997 08:27

    I've been unable to use Display Postscript since I installed OpenVMS
    V7.1 on my Alpha workstation using Motif 1.2-4 and the new desktop. The command 
    view/inter=dec/format=ps just hangs for ever in a compute loop. This problem occurs 
    with any kind of transport and seems to be related to the xdps server
    extention. 
    
    Has anybody been able to use Display Postcript on OpenVMS Alpha V7.1
    SSB ? 
    
    One note : when I install the DECW$X11R6071.A X11R6 field-test kit
    (which was previously announced in this conference), this problem goes
    away. Does this mean one should install this kit on top of V7.1 to get
    X11R6 ?

   Might be a problem with quotas too low. Can you provide us with a copy
   of the decw$server_0_error.log file?

  Since it worked before installing V7.1 I'm assuming the quotas are OK so
  it could be a problem with the PS file. Does this problem occur with any
  PS file? In not, can we get a copy of th file you are having problems with?

    The problem has been fixed by bumping various sysgen parameters. So
    apparently, V7.1 does use a little bit more resources than V7.0.
