Namely, the Xserver is not required to provide the backing store, and may refuse it if resources are unavailable. I have also been posting to the Xorg mailing list and have received an answer stating this. Xorg seems to be moving away from supporting some of the old technologies that were around a long time again and are now mostly dead. The legacy application I am trying to run was written back when 4 MBit Token Ring networks were considered "High-speed", and serial terminals were not uncommon. This isn't a problem going forward, as we are moving away from using this display technology in favor of using a web application, however we have numerous customers still utilizing the old system. Since our software application is more or less custom built for each customer, fixing our software may be a larger task than finding a way to make new hardware work. Someone in this thread did mention a resources file. This might be something to look at, especially since it doesn't involve changing source code. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
