Izen) Organization: Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH Lines: 20 I am having a problem with 386/ix X windows. Everyonce in a while it seems like certain events are missed. When I hotkey over the virtual terminal from which I started X, there is a message "Problem with ptr:OVERFLOW" I checked (via /etc/crash command strstat) the status of my streams and there were no failures there. I increased the streams parameter anyway, as s in this newsgroup. That didn't help. This has happened under 2.0.1, as well as 2.0.2. One other symptom which may be related-Every once in a while, if I close a csh xterm window by typing exit, the xterm goes away, but it leaves the window mapped on the screen. I can iconify it, bu that is somewhat annoying. The only way I know to clean it up is to shut down X and restart it. Does anyone out there have any clue as to what's going on? Thanx. -- Steve Izen: {sun,uunet}!cwjcc!skybridge!izen386!steve or steve%izen386.uucp@skybridge.scl.cwru.edu or izen@cwru.cwru.edu "My second bike is a car."
