Troubles using XFree86-Xaw3d-1.5-1
Some months ago I built xfig with an easily self-compiled static libXaw3d.a. Now after installing XFree86-Xaw3d-1.5-1, I rebuilt xfig. This failed with a plenty of errors indicating multiple entry-point definitions (from Xaw3d and Xt) and auto-import errors (with respect to SME). The X libraries used were -lXpm -lXaw3d -lXmu -lXt -lXext -lX11 . Tentatively I omitted -lXt, which did not work either, resulting in an excessive list of other auto-import errors. Similar errors were reported before under subject "Problems with libXaw3d [Was: [ITP] FreeCiv-1.12.0-1 for X"
lesstif confuses app-defaults
After upgrading XFree86 and installing lesstif (so far, I had used my own lesstif), I found that the directory tree was confused: instead of a symlink /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults -> /etc/X11/app-defaults, there was a directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults containing a symlink app-defaults and a file Mwm (the latter should rather have been in /etc/X11/app-defaults). Thus no application (except mwm) could find its app-defaults file. This is obviously a bug in the lesstif tar file. (I just found this effect has been reported before in 2002-05/msf00296.html but is still not fixed.)

Win95 uses some wierd hunt-through-registry to gather all information on the installed network interfaces. Microsoft has developed a library which simplifies this hunt.

Its beginning to look like there was a reason Xaw was compiled statically. I'm trying to track down some of the people who intially worked on this project to ask why they compiled Xaw statically. However, it is interesting to note that there are no problems with compiling Xaw or Xaw3d as dll's on OS/2. I have a suspicion that some of the auto-imported data is being messed up. As I said to Lapo, I'm working on it. If worse comes to worse, I'll just re-release as a static library until I can figure out how to fix the dll. Cheers, Nicholas __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

keys not mapping in application login prompt
Hi, I have 2 boxes both running win2k and the same identical xfree 4.2.0 version running on them. The key mappings seem fine on both until I run an application which prompts for the username/password. On one machine, when I type in my username it prints odd characters, on the other machine the username prints out fine. Can anyone guide me on how to resolve this problem please?

keyboard malfunctioning
Hi, I am having problems with my keyboard working when using XFree86. Everything works fine until I run an X application on a remote system, namely xloadl. I get the application window, but I can't type in anything. The only keys that do anything on the keyboard are the spacebar, the Tab key, and the enter key. Is this a problem with my configuration, or with the server? Just as a background, I am new to UNIX and I work with Linux a little bit.

The qt-2 port of the qt/x11 is based on the official qt/x11-2.3.1 release from trolltech. Qt manages the platform specific parts in os specific files like filenane_x11.ext or filename_win32.ext. In the qt/x11 release the _win32. files are not contained, although some win32 code (dns code for example) is still contained with the lack of an os detection code, for which I have added code, based on an msdn example. Chris January has written some native stuff for file open/reading, I have added some native stuff for a faster Qdir implementation using Find(First|Next)File(). Does anyone see a problem with this ?

Re: ssh-agent in startxwin.sh?
Jehan, I had probably asked the same question of others at some point. Remember, I inherited the initial versions of these scripts from others. There were no comments, whatsoever, in the initial versions of these scripts. As I have said before, I am a terrible computer *user*, so I have difficulty evaluating whether a command such as ssh-agent should stay or be taken out. Can you do a search of the mailing list archives for ssh-agent and let me know what the conclusion was, if any, about removing it or keeping it? I am guessing that you are probably right... since I know a little more about ssh now and I can guess that ssh-agent is only useful to users that know what they are using it for, and you are right that there should be a dependency on ssh if we are using ssh-agent. Just let me know what you uncover and I will probably remove ssh-agent from startxwin.sh. Harold Jehan wrote: > Hello, > > Why is ssh-agent in startwin.sh?

Just let me > know what you uncover and I will probably remove ssh-agent from > startxwin.sh. I couldn't find any discussion about this issue. AFAIK, ssh-agent is only used to log on a ssh session without having to enter a password. It has nothing to do with X. Moreover the batch file doesn't use it and works well. And just for testing, I removed it from my sh script and was still able to start X with wmaker and an xterm. So I think it can safely be removed from the script. The only drawback I can see is for people who rely on ssh-agent being loaded with startxwin. But they will just have to modify their start script or, better, modify their .xinitrc. Jehan
