Hi,
We are running Tru64 5.0A on an XP1000 (and using CDE and a PowerStorm 350
board if that's important). Under conditions of heavy usage (lots of
processes running due to two invocations of our large image processing
app), a third invocation of our app quits with this message:
X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 1 (X_CreateWindow)
Serial number of failed request: 166776
Current serial number in output stream: 166782
At first I wasn't convinced that the problem was specifically related to X
Windows: thinking that we were running out of processes, I increased
max_proc_per_user from 256 to 1024 -- but no change (that is, still get the
above error message). Then I ran a script that created hundreds of small
processes having no graphics/GUIs/etc.; this didn't seem to cause any
problems. Using this same script to start 100+ invocations of xclock DID
cause some problems with the window manager but no error messages that I'm
aware of. This makes me think that it IS X-related in some way. Can
someone shed some light on this? Are there some sysconfig or X parameters
that I can tweek?
Thanks,
