> With Apple's new X11 (WWDC), one is now able to select a full-screen
> X-server instead of the default rootless one which was allowed in
> Public Beta's 0.1 to 0.3. So, with this option checked in the X11
> preferences and then typing the above command, I am able to
> successfully get a full-screen CDE login prompt from the Solaris
> machine. However, any attempts to login to the Solaris machine fail.
> I have captured some of the log messages in the ~/.dt directory on the

>
> in the startlog file in ~/.dt, the Xsession command seems to quit
> unexpectedly
> ...
> --- execing /usr/dt/bin/dtsession with a /bin/tcsh non-login shell...
> --- starting desktop on /dev/pts/4
> /usr/dt/bin/ttsession[8720]: starting
> /usr/dt/bin/Xsession[738]: 8703 Hangup
> ...
>
> and, in the ~/.dt/sessionlogs/(logfile), the following error shows up
> ...
> X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
> Major opcode of failed request: 128 (XINERAMA)
> Minor opcode of failed request: 2 (XINERAMAGetScreenCount)
> Resource id in failed request: 0x0
> Serial number of failed request: 123
> Current serial number in output stream: 123
>
> Note, I have also tried X +xinerama -query xx.xx.xx.xx to no avail.

> Using this method and selecting the "Openwindows desktop login" from
> the CDE login screen works OK. However, selecting the "CDE desktop
> login" causes the error messages above and the X-server quits and then
> re-spawns itself, ending back at the CDE login screen.
>
> Has anyone seen these problems before? And, is there a solution?

> Also, besides checking the option box (to select between full-screen
> and rootless mode operation) from the Preferences menu of X11.app,
> does anyone know if there is a command line flag to the X command
> which may be used (similar to startx -- -fullscreen for Xdarwin?)
