CF: troubles with the new client..
Does anyone else use the X11 new client? Ive had a number
of problems (is this client in alpha or beta? I forget...).
Ive tested running it on 0.93.3 and 0.93.5 on a SunOs (4.1.3)
Sparc 20 and get both of the following effects:
1) Can't get it to run in XPM mode! I get version
verification, get added but then the client either
can't write to a tmp file(!, plentyo disk space),
or chokes on an oversize packet right when I am
supposed to enter my name. I changed the x11.c file
so that the InfoData structure had all fields
signed and forced a signed comparison on line
1072 (and another, I forget..) and I removed the
abort call on line ??? in client.c. After this, I
could get further (I passed name/password entry) but
the map still isnt drawn.
2) Playing under -pix (bitmap) option works. But I notice
lots of ReadPacket errors ("Operation would block").
Is this typical for a tcp socket? Also, I see that
after learning to read a spellbook, the pixmap from
of that book inventory doesnt disappear as it should
(and I cant rotate the inventory either :<). I can still
drop objects and the 'invenory command indicates that
I dont really have the spellbook anymore.
Oh yeah, Im using xpm-3.4j lib and compiled w/ gcc. Any
ideas?
-b.t.
