Kevin, Your problem is the X-applications and the selection they use for cut and paste: CLIPBOARD, PRIMARY, or CUT_BUFFER0. This can be a problem on Solaris itself if you mix and match older x utilities with newer CDE utilities. Example, "xterm" (AND Xvnc) use CUT_BUFFER0, while "dtterm" uses PRIMARY. I often use xclipboard or xcutsel to facilitate copying between applications as well as between windows and Xvnc.
Xvnc rules of thumb using xcutsel: ================================== NO copy from Windows to Xvnc --> "copy 0 to PRIMARY" No copy from Xvnc to Windows --> "copy PRIMARY to 0" Regards, Glenn Lovitz > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On > Behalf Of Kevin Minney > Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2002 10:51 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: 3.3.5: Solaris7&8, cut/paste buffers not working > > > Can someone please help me with this cut/paste buffer > problem?
