x interactive performance we recently got an ncd x terminal to evaluate this is running xremote over a serial line i wanted to get some measurement of response time so i wrote a small xlib program which simply creates a window maps it and sends the first expose event to itself the program times the delay from sending the event to receiving it i thought this was the simplest way to test client x server round trip delays it s a similar concept to the ping c program is this a valid test to perform i ve also tried the xbench program available from ftp uu net which bombards the server with graphics operations but i just wanted to get a quantative measure of what is acceptable interactive response time has anyone got any ideas on this subject thanks andrew afielden mlsma att com andrew fielden at t network systems uk tel information systems group sun support email afielden mlsma att com

input focus to a window other than where the pointer is i have noticed in framemaker x on both the sgi and sun platforms that certain dialogs such as column layout for example respond to keyboard traversal even though the pointer is not in the dialog window and even though the window manager keyboard focus policy is pointer how is this done i would like to emulate this behavior in my application it seems a reasonable behavior since when a dialog is popped up from a keyboard action the dialog is not guaranteed to be under the pointer and the user should not have to reach for the mouse just to move the focus alternatively i m open to any suggestions as to what is the right way to insure that popups get the focus when they appear particularly when they are invoked from the keyboard and one s keyboard focus policy is pointer allen barnett whose wife graciously allowed to use her account

keyboard mapping and window placement questions these are two common subjects so i hope someone has had to deal with these specific questions if my application depends on modifiers what is the best lookup method my choices are to call xgetmodifiermapping for each key press with a modifier or make the call once at the init of the app and store the modifiers in a lookup table i would like to do it the second way but i can t seem to get the notify when the user uses xmodmap to remap the modifiers i know that when an app calls xsetmodifiermapping a mappingnotify event is generated non maskable which i can pick up and modify my internal table but i don t seem to get any notify events when the user uses xmodmap if i use xt all o reilly has to say is is automatically handled by xt if i use xlib ala xnextevent i get nothing this all stems from problems with users of the sun keyboard and the numlock plus various alt meta etc modifier requirements i would like to place a popup so that it will be to the immediate right of my main window i want it at the same y coord and their right left sides touching what i need to ask for is the x y coord of the window manager s border for the main window this should ring a bell with anyone who has called xtmovewidget immediately checking the x y after the move and seeing that it is right and in their next callback asking for the x y and seeing that it is now offset by the wm border any help would be most appreciated darcy darcy mccallum mentorg com

re desqview x on a pc and network traffic in article qdeck com support qdeck com technical support writes in article qtk rn picasso cssc syd tansu com au gpatapis boyd tansu com au writes what sort of traffic is generated with the x calls i am curious to find out the required bandwidth that a link must have if one machine running dv x is supporting multiple users clients and we require adequate response time anyone have any ideas i expect the limiting factor will be your server machine not the network itself to give you a real world example here at quarterdeck we have roughly people using dvx to talk to a bunch of unix boxes novell file servers and each other it s not too much of a load on our ethernet with maybe concentrators so you have people on each segment if you had a badly loaded net or the apps you wanted to run were very network intensive you could run into some slowdowns but the biggest problem would be the machine itself say you have a with plenty of ram and a fast hard disk and network card if you have people running programs off it you re going to see some slowdowns because you re now on effectively a mhz of course dvx will attempt to see if tasks are idle and make sure they give up their time slice but if you have working programs running you ll know it well i can buy a bigger and more powerful server machine because of the significant drop in price year after year the link i want to use though isdn k is costly and the bandwidth limited that s why my interest lies in seeing if such a link can be used and see what traffic goes through it having said that if you can tweak the programs being run by adding in calls to give up time slices when idle and that sort of thing you could probably run people on a given machine before you started seeing slowdowns again this time from network bandwidth hmmm has anyone at your centre monitored the traffic at all are you running any standard ms windows programs like word what sort of packets go blazing through what size link do you have mb or mb what is the average traffic flow going through your network or do you have few high peaks and then many low points it all really depends on what the programs are doing ie you re going to see a slowdown from x bandwidth a lot sooner if your apps are all doing network things also what do you mean by network things i vision using ms windows and other windows applications over the network were the processes are running on the server and all i am getting are the displays i am wondering how good is the x and subsequently dv x protocol in transferring these images with x calls and displaying them on a client s machine quarterdeck office systems internet support tom bortels pricing ordering info qdeck com tech questions support qdeck com bbs fax compuserve go quarterdeck q fax from touch tone phone for technotes on demand george patapis pan metron ariston telecom c s s c lane cove email gpatapis cssc syd tansu com au p o box a sydney south fax nsw australia voice

re finding out state of state keys eg capslock and numlock in aa blue arbortext com rps arbortext com ralph seguin writes my question is this is there a means of determining what the state of capslock and or numlock is i don t know any way except to see what modifiers are on in th keypress event of course if there is some reason why you need to always know the state of modifiers even if your windows don t have the keyborads focus you can always ask for keypress events from the root window then you get all the keypresses and you always know what have been pressed an even more pointed question is there an easy means of making an x keyboard act like a pc keyboard ie capslock is active and the user presses shift a i d like to get a lowercase a instead of a i think this is just a question of how to implement xlookupstring you can always write another function that interprets the keypresses as you like you can look at the implementation of xlookupstring from the xlib sources and then modify it a little bit sami tikka hut fi g sami s tikka o hut admd fumail c fi live long and prosper
