- Has anyone ever experienced any troubles using a fifo as an X input
- device? The environment is a 425 workstation, clustered to a 433
- server. The fifo belongs to the workstation, but is physically
- located on the server.
-
- We added the fifo as an X input with XtAddInput, and it appears that
- every call to XtNextEvent attempts to read this fifo whether or not
- there is any data in the fifo to read. This has an adverse affect on
- the performance of the process.
-
- Any suggestions?
- Thanks.
