8716.0. "XIMAGE not working on CDE" by HGOVC::XFMV01::SACHINS () Wed Feb 05 1997 04:57

Hi,


I have the customer who has ALPHA station 255 5/300 with DIGITAL UNIX 4.0a
& it is a Factory installed M/C.The customer has downloaded certain IMAGES
from the NETWORK, it is an executable image which gives you some GRAPHICAL
DISPLAY. But when I am trying to execute this IMAGE after logging on to the 
CONSOLE as root or any other user it gives me the following errors.

X error of failed request:Badmatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request:1 (X_create window)
serial no of failed request:56
current serial no in o/p stream:62

	But if we try to connect to this M/C through some PC CLIENT which
has X EMULATION software & use the DISPLAY of the CLIENT & try to run the
same IMAGE it works fine.

	We took the same IMAGE to another M/C which is AS2000 4/266
with GRAPHICS CONSOLE & DIGITAL UNIX 3.2c & tried to run the same IMAGE
it is working fine.

	The only difference between these two OPERATING SYSTEMS is
DEFAULT XLOGIN is CDE on DU4.0a & is XDM on DU3.2c.

Thanks in ADVANCE......................

8716.1try to run executable from DXsessionHEN::MEHTAFri Feb 07 1997 10:269
    
    On your system running 4.0a, login from dxsession ( pick DXsession from
    sessions option on login window) and run your binary to see if you get
    the same error. 
    
    If you get the same error then it is probably a X related problem.
    else it is probably due to CDE.
