- Hi all,
-
- We have X11 Rel 4 running on Sun SPARCstations 1, 1+, and 2 running
- SunOS 4.1.1 and 4.1.2. We noticed a strange problem lately that we
- have not been able to isolate yet. After invoking xinit and a
- couple xterm's, we receive a message "Can't open display" after
- a few minutes. The error occurs when we try to invoke another X
- client. This occurs even if the workstation is idle after the xterm's
- are invoked. Nothing else is running on the system other than the
- normal SunOS processes. I think the message is coming from the server.
-
- I have seen this message before only when trying to make the condition
- occur (i.e., invoking many X clients to determine the display limit).
-
- Can anyone provide some insight into this problem?
-
- My next step is to debug the server which could be time consuming.
-
- Thank you,
- Richard Jackson
