- When I run the command :
-
- xrdb -load Xdefaults
-
- I get the following error from X:
-
- X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or
- internal Xlib length error)
- Major opcode of failed request: 18 (X_ChangeProperty)
- Minor opcode of failed request: 0
- Resource id in failed request: 0x80067
- Serial number of failed request: 3
- Current serial number in output stream: 5
-
- Assume the format/syntax of the Xdefaults file is correct. However, it
- is quite large (approx. 200K bytes), as it was generated by a user
- interface builder tool. Breaking the file up into smaller files and doing
- xrdb -merge on each of the smaller files eventually results in the same error message.
-
- Am I running up against a limit in the X server as to the maximum size
- that the RESOURCE_MANAGER property can be? If so, is there anything
- I can do about it? I am running X11R4, SunOS4.1 on a Sun SPARCstation2
- with 48Mb memory. The X server was started without the -ld option.
-
- Thanks in advance.
