Xlib: Did not parse entire setup message: parsed: 848, message: 1600
Error: Can't open display: scully:0.0
My primary display is a dual-head RIIRIX Octane running Xinerama.
xdpyinfo reports:
number of screens: 1
screen #0:
dimensions: 2560x1024 pixels (728x291 millimeters)
resolution: 89x89 dots per inch
but each time I try to display an X app from nmy debian machine to the
irix machine, I get the following:
Xlib: Did not parse entire setup message: parsed: 848, message: 1600
xdpyinfo: unable to open display "scully:0.0".
The exact same machine running without xinerama works fine with remotely
displayed apps from the same debain machine.. Every other Unix machine
and linux distribution I've tried will display to the xinerama-enabled
IRIX machine with no problems. I can't see why it's failing here (other
than the fact that IRIX uses a slightly different xinerama extension to
many of the other implementations out there, on the basis that Xorg
never formalised it!).
Point is even if the xinerama information returned from the server isn't
completely understood by the X client, it should still setup a connection
and attempt to open a window..
I'm more than willing to run debug if it'll help...
(I tried installing the unstable xlibs too - no change)
