Since the windows 7 host, I expirience a gigantic lag when using terminals or using x11 in general that I reverted back to putty terminals. (Of which is nothing wrong but multiple desktops are quite handy instead of 20 putty's on the taskbar)
Things I did to check but didn't have the desired effect:
- updated local hardware drivers
- tried several x11 client solutions
- playing around with x11 connection parameters
- checked on other hosts (also win 7 64 bit)
- ...
just curious -- why not just export xterms to your windows box? you can easily cut and paste between xterm windows from different servers and even into ms windows apps ... and the network and cpu loads are much less ... it's been helpful to me especially with scripting or sending screen debug info to somebody ... you do need to change the prompts though so each window will always tell you the hostname ... fixing the xterm title line would also be a big help ...
anyways ... just my 2 cents ...
happy new year!

Hi,
Do you think there a way to get the windows titles of an X11 application with multiple windows on AIX?
I have only the application's process id, but I can use shell and C++ programming. I am looking for a hint/links to explore.
Thanks! (0 Replies)

get_desktop_resolution
get_desktop_resolution(3alleg4) Allegro manual get_desktop_resolution(3alleg4)
NAME
get_desktop_resolution - Finds out the desktop resolution. Allegro game programming library.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
int get_desktop_resolution(int *width, int *height);
DESCRIPTION
Finds out the currently selected desktop resolution. You can use this information to avoid creating windows bigger than the current resolu-
tion. This is especially important for some windowed drivers which are unable to create windows bigger than the desktop. Each parameter is
a pointer to an integer where one dimension of the screen will be stored.
Under some OSes, switching to a full screen graphics mode may automatically change the desktop resolution. You have, therefore, to call
this function before setting any graphics mode in order to retrieve the real desktop resolution. Example:
int width, height;
allegro_init();
...
if (get_desktop_resolution(&width, &height) == 0) {
/* Got the resolution correctly */
}
RETURN VALUE
Returns zero on success, or a negative number if this information is not available or does not apply, in which case the values stored in
the variables you provided for `width' and `height' are undefined.
