Currently, mp_rpc_server.C tries 538 million ports to acquire an
available transient rpcbind port number. This is bad when rpcbind is
running in secure mode (and you are not using tirpc) - Xsession will
'hang' at the dthello (blue) screen filling up your error logs with
RPC errors.
Now, just try +- 50 (for a total of 100 ports) before bailing. The
dthello 'blue screen of death' is the most common problem in starting
CDE when rpcbind isn't set up properly. This should at least not
cause the appearance of a 'hang'.
This adds a basic library and support to dtsession and dtlogin to
support Xinerama/Twinview, where multimple monitors are used to make
up an X11 screen.
The main goal here is to draw dialogs and such centered on a monitor,
rather than spread out over multiple monitors.
Might need to add sorting - as on my test system, what I would
consider monitor 0, appears to actually be monitor 1. So a sort might
need to be added to sort the screens according to increasing x and y
offsets so it make sense to a user.
Also, this library is built statically and not documented. Maybe it
could be 'filled' out and refactored/redesigned in the futre if need
be and suppoerted.
It is enabled via a define, CDE_USEXINERAMA in site.def. It's a very
simple lib, so I do not expect any issues with the BSD's - it should
build and work fine, assuming your X server has the XINERAMA
extension, which I think pretty much all of them do at this point.
On OpenBSD, the 'S' option to malloc(3) enables guard pages (among other
things). This loop could have triggered this trap when reading beyond the
buffer. Also, the whole "while(*ip)" construct was based on the assumption that
the memory after the string is always zero-filled.
This reverts commit 44e384aedb.
This code is actually needed. If svcfd_create() is not available, it
should be fixed only for those systems that it affects.
This has the effect of not performing a tt call each time in
ResolveLocalPathName() if we're on the local host anyway. Drastically reduces
dtfile startup time.
Use Adobe Helvetica as the sans serif user
interface font (among others, dtlogin, front
panel buttons, menu titles) instead of Lucida.
While there, move X Consortium comment back
to the top.
This change applies only to FreeBSD.
