I'm running an application on linux. Every once in a while (two times so far this week) the application will fall over with this message: XIO: fatal IO error 105 (No buffer space available) Doing a google search I found a similar Cygwin problem. Our application will run under Cygwin as well but at the moment I'm discussing a Linux problem: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2001-q4/msg00558.html This seems to adequately describe the problem I'm seeing. The problem seems to happen overnight for me, perhaps when the system is busy right after midnight rolling over logfiles and such. The application (xastir.sourceforge.net) is busy writing a lot of small pixmaps to the screen at times, particularly when at U.S.-view or World-wide-view map scales. Is there anything I can do in the application to prevent this or is it an X11 library bug? I'm running SuSE Linux 9.0 and this X11 version: XFree86 Version 4.3.0.1 Release Date: 9 May 2003 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6 Build Operating System: SuSE Linux [ELF] SuSE Build Date: 12 February 2004 -- Curt, WE7U archer at eskimo dot com Arlington, WA, USA http://www.eskimo.com/~archer "Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math." -- unknown "Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates." -- WE7U "The world DOES revolve around me: I picked the coordinate system!" _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
