- For all of you still struggling...
-
- Since some of you have been asking, here is how to circumvent the
- XView-4.0.5 bug:
-
- THE BUG:
- Any XView application run under the IRIX 4.0.5 Xsgi X11-server
- will lock the Server on first mouse click and no more release
- it until killed from somewhere else.
-
- SOLUTIONS:
- a) Run the application with '-Wfsdb' on the command line. Alternatively
- you could use '-fullscreendebug'.
-
- b) If you have the sources, add
-
- extern int fullscreendebug;
-
- e.g. before main() and
-
- fullscreendebug = 1;
-
- after the xv_init(...) call. This forces the program to set this
- flag in any case - also when run with non-xview-buggy servers. But
- it releases you of the danger of omitting -Wfsdb and locking your
- screen.
-
- c) ONLY, if the program uses the 'fullscreen' package, you might add
-
- Fullscreen.Debug: True
-
- in $HOME/.Xresources or specify this resource on the command
- line. This flag currently disables grabs in both the 'window'
- and the 'fullscreen' package, but is only set from resources
- in the 'fullscreen' package.
