- Greetings. I just installed X11R5 on a 4/380 and have been having
- problems of various sorts ever since. In running X on a sparc ELC,
- and running some openlook applications, bad things occasionally
- happen. For instance, a click of the left mouse button in a window
- has made the window disappear; or trying to respond to mail has caused
- the mail tool to disappear. Today I was running a mail tool remotely,
- and finally got an error message:
-
- tulmath% X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources
- for operation)
- Major opcode of failed request: 12 (X_ConfigureWindow)
- Serial number of failed request: 715
- Current serial number in output stream: 764
-
- I am guessing that this may mean that I need to reconfigure kernels
- that are running X so that there is a larger number of max_processes.
- Does anyone have any good advice?
