Welty) Organization: RPI Computer Science Dept. Lines: 30 Keywords: XV11R1, patched up to #80, on a Sun3/60 3.4 I seem to be having a problem with the old resource manager in the distribution for X11. I am running the standard clients like xterm and xclock, and they don't seem to respond to the parameters set in my .Xdefaults file. I looked at the source for xclock, and added a little XrmPutDataBase after the XrmGetDataBase so I could look at what was getting read in. This is my .Xdefaults file: Xclock.ReverseVideo:on Xclock.ReverseVideo:on XClock.ReverseVideo:on xclock.Mode: digital this is what the XrmPutDataBase from xclock puts out: Xclock.Xclock: on XClock.XClock: on xclock.xclock: digital Keep in mind tha xclock uses the oldXrm calls. I have applied all 80 patches. The various combinations of caps is because I thought at first my problem might be that I wasn't getting the program name right. Any ideas out there? This seems pretty basic for general users of X11 as simply a window environment - is anyone else having trouble with their .Xdefaults??? Christopher Welty --- Asst.
