Hello OSF Managers:
I have a 3000/500 system stuck at OSF v1.3A for various reasons, and
I'm encountering a problem. A while back there were discussions of
how the X server would not deallocate memory correctly, so the file
/usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers should be modified with -terminate following
the X command. Well, I've done this since the discussion back a year
ago, and the console has been working fine. However, recently, a user
who's been using the graphics console (the integrate "HX" graphics)
a lot has encountered a strange problem. After an unknown period of use
and unknown numbers of log-in sessions, the graphics interface stops
accepting log ins. That is, you give it the user name and password, it
whirls a bit, and then gives back the log in screen again. I've checked
the xdm-erros file, but found nothing. Is there anywhere else that I
should be looking for error messages? Is this problem known, and is
there a patch for it? At this time, I'm killing off X and restarting
it, which enables the window manager to keep running for a couple weeks
before the same problem happens again.
Now the questions:
1. Is there a debugger that will work with Fortran source code?
The standard dbx explicitly says that it does not, and it does not.
2. Does DEC have a Turbochannel based Fast Wide Differential SCSI
interface card? I'm guessing that even if they did, it would
probably require drivers in later versions of OSF than 1.3A.
thanks in advance for any help.
