- I have a question concerning DEC's Xwst3d server that is used on the
- DECStation 5200-240 (3D, 24bit color,
- 40MB RAM, 132MB swap space). However, I use it in Pseudo color mode,
- since the majority of my programs use
- colormaps (just got this machine, we have a bunch of 8bit color DECs).
-
- Therefore when starting up the Xwst3d window server in the ttys file at
- boot time I use
- /usr/bin/Xwst3d bc -class PseudoColor
-
- The problem in this configuration is that programs that work fine on any
- regular Xws display fail with an X window error BadAlloc on the Xwst3d
- when it is tried to load larger sized images (> 1k x 1k) into pixmaps.
- The server apparently runs out of resources (data memory?). Smaller
- images work fine.
-
- This is (yet) a mystery to me. Is there anything I might have configured
- wrong setting up the server, or is there something else that has to be set. ?
-
- If there is anyone out there who knows what's going on I would be
- appreciate his/her comments.
