Hi, I'm not sure whether this is a bug or I'm screwing up somewhere, so I thought I'd ask here.
Basically, I'm hitting the following error: _X11TransSocketOpen: socket() failed for tcp _X11TransSocketOpenCOTSClient: Unable to open socket for tcp _X11TransOpen: transport open failed for tcp/littlegreen:0 x11drv: Can't open display: littlegreen:0.0 which I'm pretty sure is caused by my program hitting the OPEN_MAX limit on the number of file descriptors. This app btw is JXTA/Java running under Wine, and Java is known to be prolific with the number of file descriptors it uses, see here: http://www.t8o.org/~mca1001/fixed/ For some more info from somebody else who hit this issue with Java. The reason I'm puzzled is that the Xtransint.h header makes it look like OPEN_MAX should be defined as a call to sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX), but it's not. A little test app that includes this header and prints OPEN_MAX and sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX) returns 256 and 1024 respectively. So, Linux is quite happy to give my app lots of FDs, but XFree contains a manual check to see if it's over the limit, which breaks my app. I'm going to have a hunt around, and see if there's a way to work around this in Java or Wine, but I'd appreciate somebody explaining what's going on here to me. I'm using redhat 8. thanks -mike -- Mike Hearn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> QinetiQ - Malvern Technology Center _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
