I’m just plinking around after having read the early chapters of the
O’Reilly volumes 4a and 6a plus some Athena and Xlib stuff. I was
itching to try some things. For my background see
http://ab1jx.webs.com For graphics programming I’ve mostly worked in
Turbo Pascal and Delphi.
So I get this err
Well, you see, I just really dislike C++. I've tried on and off for
years and I just can't get it through my head. I want a toolkit I can
program in C. FLTK seems great, same with GTK, but not without C++.
I'm familiar with OO programming concepts from Java, Delphi and Perl
but C++? Uh-uh.

I've got Debian running on by using the Sven-Ola kit. Instead of
having real video output it drives either a VNC or Remote Desktop

I'm not sure about the implementation details but I use Debian on an
Android phone. It's by running a vnc server under Debian and a vnc
client on the Android side, Debian doesn't know anything about the
hardware. The viewer's called ReallVNC and I mostly like the way it
pans around a virtual deskt

The cursor changes depending what it's over, and if you've got
something like an 1920x1080 screen full of mostly rxvt windows then
most of the time it's an I-beam. That can be hard to spot if you've

Re: Finding the cursor
Reading the current cursor isn't important as long as it can be put
back to normal once the ctrl (or whatever) key is released. It
doesn't even have to actually be a cursor as long as (a) it can appear
on top of every window to mark the spot and (b) it can go away again

I have a Raspberry Pi Model B version 2 that I tinker with for
amusement. Recently I dug it out after sitting a year or so and
loaded the SD card with Raspian Jessie Lite. The Lite package as it
turns out doesn't include X, so I've been adding it by installing some
X programs I want with apt-get
This probably isn't exactly the right list for this, but maybe
somebody lingering can answer. I'm trying to use xor to put a line on
the screen then erase it again when I want. With the XSetFunction()
to xor uncommented I get no line. If I comment it out I get a line,
but no erase. If I move it

OK, line spins inside a box until ctrl-c in the controlling terminal.
I wanted to get a sense of how fast or how much CPU it was going to
take, this takes under 4% CPU on a Raspberry Pi 3B. I only got my
first xlib program working a couple days ago.
My makefile has paths for both a Pi with Raspbi

Perfectly true, the (WW) in there means it's just a warning. Look
for (EE) which is error. There's a key in there somewhere. But post
the whole log.

Wow, sounds like not much is installed, like this wasn't a normal
installation. What happens if you type startx to start x? It should
run xinit after a few steps. You may not even have a window manager.
Sounds like when I tried getting X running on Raspbian Jessie Lite.

I have to admit I'd favor a modern forum to a mailing list. A couple
months ago somebody on another list told me I wasn't quoting properly,
well, I'm using Gmail through the web interface. It apparently
doesn't know how to do that. And since Motif is GUI it would be handy

that's all it is.

"EGL_MESA_drm_image required."
I only see 1 (EE) in my own xorg log and that's from something that
there's no capability to do in hardware so it's done in software
instead.
