I am new to OpenDX and to x-servers.  I have just installed Exceed, Exceed 3D 
and OpenDX onto a Dell 933Mhz Pentium III running Windows 2000 and I am having 
a few problems.  When I run Editor.bat it takes about 45 seconds for OpenDx to 
appear on the screen and when it does the DOS window contains many warning 
messages.  The following are typical:

XtWarning: ... found while parsing ':<Key>osfCancel:    PrimitiveParentCancel
XtWarning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfBeginLine
XtWarning: ... found while parsing ':<Key>osfBeginLine: PrimitiveTraverseHome
XtWarning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfUp
XtWarning: ... found while parsing ':<Key>osfUp:                
PrimitiveTravseUp()'
XtWarning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfDown
XtWarning: ... found while parsing ':<Key>osfDown:              
PrimitiveTravseDown()'

When I load a sample program (e.g., Zipcodes.net) it loads immediately.  When I 
click on Execute on Change" it takes about 30 seconds for an image to appear. 
Once the image appears, and I switch to hardware rendering, I can rotate the 
image in "real time."  

The keyboard is not mapped properly.  The delete key is mapped to space and the 
backspace mapped to plus/minus.  Finally, simple commands often take a long 
time to execute.  For example, when I click on "Quit" it takes more than a 
minute before "Do you want to save the program?" appears.


I went through the following steps to install the software and to run OpenDX

1.    Installed Exceed 7.0.0.1 and Exceed 3D into C:\Exceed
2.    Unpacked OpenDX version 4.1.1 into c:\OpenDX
3.    Created directory C:\exceed\user (Exceed 7 didn't create one)
4.    Copied the files and folders in c:\OpenDX\bin\Exceed\user to 
C:\exceed\user
5.    Created a directory c:\tmp
6.    Restarted my computer
7.    Started Exceed
8.    Opened a DOS window
9.    Changed the directory to C:\OpendDX\bin
10.   Typed menu

What is the cause of the warning messages, the delays and keyboard problem? How 
do I fix them?  I suspect that some of the problems are associated with the 
files I copied into C:\exceed\user as some of the messages seem to be related 
to the xKeysymDb file.   If I remove all of the files from C:\exceed\user no 
additional problems are introduced.
