nanogui: Thread: refresh problem with XFree4.1.0

hello

I have refresh problems using microwindows on XFree 4.1.0
When another windows comes on microwindows' window, it's not automaticaly
refreshed. Why?

It works fine on XFree 3.3.6 but not on 4.1.0. I've seen something about
USE_EXPOSE in changelog, but haven't found any more about it.


Thanks for your answer.



Yann Poupet

In your config file, set USE_EXPOSURE to Y

Yann,
I don't know if this is causing your problem or not...

I may be totally off base here....

I have noticed some odd behavior as well.
Running the  microwindows demos on  XFree under Linux.
The best way I can describe is to say that the system
seems to be frozen until you move the mouse.

I traced this down to the select call in nanox/srvmain.c

at or about line 403 GdGetNextTimeout is called to see if there is a
timer running. If there is no timer running  "to" is set to NULL.

This causes the call to select to block indefinitely.

If you replace the "to = NULL" with something like:
{
    to = &tout;
    to->tv_sec = 0;
    to->tv_usec = 1000;
}

You get a much happier demo.

Michael -
    Which demo exactly are you talking about?  I ran bin/mdemo
under X11 and everything seems to work fine.  bin/logfont
and bin/t1demo also seem to run...

Regards,

Greg
