Hi,

I have problems running any Xphoton applications (on QNX RTP ) remotely on
a server using both phindows and phditto. The problem is that the
application(even simple xterm) won’t get rendered on the screen!!!
It runs, but not usefully at all, since I can’t see it!!!
Is anyone aware of any solutions to this problem ??? any work-arounds ???
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jeff,
Well…I just use what you do without the -n option. I can see all the
graphics (side bar , other GUI apps etc). But I can’t see any background.
And of course, no X apps seems to render either.

How are you invoking phditto?
I have that problem if I don’t explicitly specify the argument
“-n /dev/photon”, I get a new photon session (big empty black
rectangle) rather than seeing what’s on the screen of my
target. My invocation is "phditto -t10.0.0.10 -n/dev/photon "
An additional issue I’m seeing is that .gif images that I imported
to my Photon application are displayed on the target’s
screen, but are not rendered on the phditto screen. The
images are set so that the cursor changes shape when
it passes over each image, and I see the cursor change
shape on the phditto screen. The image is just not rendered.
Anyone have any feel for the problem there?
