This patch contains fixes for the following bugs in IRIX
6.2. Bug numbers from Silicon Graphics bug tracking system
are included for reference.
+o IRIX6.2 doesn't support Turkish locale and keyboard.
(Bug #519535) (This patch fixes only keyboard stuff for
the bug.)
+o XtOwnSelectionIncremental fails. (Bug #523684)
+o Buffer overflow in Xrm code. (Bug #530669)
+o Buffer overflow in Xt default error handler. (Bug
#530672)

library. (Bug #537721)

#543320)

SgCvtCreateConversionContext. (Bug #433544)
- 2 -
+o XCreateIC leaks memory. (Bug #439052)
+o Applications which generate signals such as SIGARLM may
lose connection to IM server. (Bug #488823)

(Bug #518036)
1.5 _B_u_g_s__F_i_x_e_d__b_y__P_a_t_c_h__S_G_0_0_0_1_5_8_5
Patch SG0002580 also includes the bug fixes from Patch
SG0001585. Patch SG0001585 includes the bug fixes from
patches SG0001234, SG0001398, SG0001428, SG0001470.
+o A call to XInternAtom passing a non-existent atom
generates an X request with a length of -1. This
causes an X Bad Length error and a subsequent crash of
the application. (Bug #353344)
+o The X library does not include a converter which goes
from X keysyms to KOI8 characters. Without this
converter, XmbLookupString and XwcLookupString cannot
be used in a locale which uses the KOI8 character set,
effectively making it impossible to use. This patch
also adds a locale directory entry for the KOI8-based X
locale. (Bug #365702)
+o Update the Russian keymap to make group lock available
by pressing both shift keys simultaneously. (Bug
#377695)
+o Extra characters are generated when the group is
changed by pressing both shift keys in the KOI-8-based
Russian locale. (Bug #381248)
+o iwsh is sometimes killed when caps lock is pressed
while using the KOI-8-based Russian locale. (Bug
#381257)
+o XIM server displays '$' on the textfield. (Bug #383796)
+o Showcase does not work with patch1398. (Bug #390471)
- 3 -
+o Xlib creates wrong CompoundText for Cut&Paste due to an
SJIS to CompoundText converter problem. (Bug #400963)
+o Add big5 support to libX11. (Bug #430277)
+o xwnmo sets wrong locale with big5 locale. (Bug #430290)
1.6 _B_u_g_s__F_i_x_e_d__b_y__P_a_t_c_h__S_G_0_0_0_1_7_4_6
Patch SG0002580 also includes the bug fixes from Patch
SG0001746.
+o A call to XInternAtom passing a non-existent atom
generates an X request with a length of -1. This
causes an X Bad Length error and a subsequent crash of
the application. (Bug #353344)
1.7 _B_u_g_s__F_i_x_e_d__b_y__P_a_t_c_h__S_G_0_0_0_2_0_2_6

SG0002026. Patch SG0002026 includes the bug fixes from
Patch SG0001350.
+o Add support for a new Xt resource that specifies the
desks an application appears in. (Bug #380848)
+o Some keypad keys activate the wrong text widget
translations when NumLock is enabled. This only
happens when the user is using a keyboard mapping with
four keysyms per keycode (common with European
keyboards). (Bug #463094)
1.8 _S_u_b_s_y_s_t_e_m_s__I_n_c_l_u_d_e_d__i_n__P_a_t_c_h__S_G_0_0_0_2_5_8_0

1.9 _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n__I_n_s_t_r_u_c_t_i_o_n_s
Because you want to install only the patches for problems
you have encountered, patch software is not installed by
default. After reading the descriptions of the bugs fixed
in this patch (see Section 1.3), determine the patches that
meet your specific needs.
If, after reading Sections 1.1 and 1.2 of these release
notes, you are unsure whether your hardware and software
meet the requirements for installing a particular patch, run
_i_n_s_t. The _i_n_s_t program does not allow you to install
patches that are incompatible with your hardware or
software.
Patch software is installed like any other Silicon Graphics
software product. Follow the instructions in your _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e
_I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _A_d_m_i_n_i_s_t_r_a_t_o_r'_s _G_u_i_d_e to bring up the miniroot
form of the software installation tools.
Follow these steps to select a patch for installation:
1. At the Inst> prompt, type
iiiinnnnssssttttaaaallllllll ppppaaaattttcccchhhhSSSSGGGG_x_x_x_x_x_x_x
where _x_x_x_x_x_x_x is the patch number.
2. Initiate the installation sequence. Type
IIIInnnnsssstttt>>>> ggggoooo
3. You may find that two patches have been marked as
incompatible. (The installation tools reject an
installation request if an incompatibility is
detected.) If this occurs, you must deselect one of
the patches.
IIIInnnnsssstttt>>>> kkkkeeeeeeeepppp ppppaaaattttcccchhhhSSSSGGGG_x_x_x_x_x_x_x
where _x_x_x_x_x_x_x is the patch number.
4. After completing the installation process, exit the
_i_n_s_t program by typing
IIIInnnnsssstttt>>>> qqqquuuuiiiitttt

1.10 _P_a_t_c_h__R_e_m_o_v_a_l__I_n_s_t_r_u_c_t_i_o_n_s
To remove a patch, use the _v_e_r_s_i_o_n_s _r_e_m_o_v_e command as you
would for any other software subsystem. The removal process
reinstates the original version of software unless you have
specifically removed the patch history from your system.
vvvveeeerrrrssssiiiioooonnnnssss rrrreeeemmmmoooovvvveeee ppppaaaattttcccchhhhSSSSGGGG_x_x_x_x_x_x_x
where _x_x_x_x_x_x_x is the patch number.
To keep a patch but increase your disk space, use the
_v_e_r_s_i_o_n_s _r_e_m_o_v_e_h_i_s_t command to remove the patch history.
vvvveeeerrrrssssiiiioooonnnnssss rrrreeeemmmmoooovvvveeeehhhhiiiisssstttt ppppaaaattttcccchhhhSSSSGGGG_x_x_x_x_x_x_x
where _x_x_x_x_x_x_x is the patch number.
1.11 _K_n_o_w_n__P_r_o_b_l_e_m_s
This patch fixes only keyboard stuff for the Bug #519535
(IRIX6.2 doesn't support Turkish locale and keyboard).
