Questions and Answers for eXalt
-------------------------------

Q. After installing I can start eXalt but I can't display any xclients to it.
A. Make sure you add the local NT machine's node name and the host machine's
   node name via the Select Hosts dialog box found in the eXalt program group.


Q. When trying to use the Initiate Client dialog box to start xclients, nothing
   happens.
A. Make sure your Host field contains the correct host machine, specify the full
   path of the xclient,  include the -display option with your NT machine's node
   name:0, use a valid User ID, verify TCP/IP connection to host machine, make
   sure all caveats of using rsh or rexec are heeded, i.e for rsh method, make
   sure user account has valid .rhosts file setup.


Q. How do I add fonts to eXalt?
A. eXalt will accept bdf source or X11R5 pcf fonts.  Copy the source fonts from
   the host machine to a directory on your NT machine.  Then run the program
   MKFNTDIR.EXE located in the \WIN32APP\INGR\EXALT\BIN\ on that directory.  Add
   that font path to the existing font paths using the Font Path Options dialog
   box in the eXalt program group.


Q. When I start eXalt it says it has an invalid font path and it won't start.
A. Check the Font Path Options box to see what the installed font paths are
   versus what fonts were selected during the install.  The fonts will be put
   into \WIN32APP\INGR\EXALT\FONT\XXX where "XXX" corresponds to each of the
   components you should see in the Font Path Options box.


Q. When I display an xclient to eXalt, it says that it can't find a certain
   color.
A. If you know the rgb value of the color your xclient is expecting, you can add
   this and the associated string name of the color to eXalt using the Color
   Database Options dialog box.


Q. When I display an xclient to eXalt, the colors look funny, or all of the
   pixmaps are one color.
A. Perhaps eXalt is having a problem with the video driver you are using or the
   color-depth you are using.  See how many colors you are setup for under the
   WindowsNT Setup dialog.  If your display driver isn't using 8bit (256 colors)
   or 24-bit (16.7 million), try one of those to see if that clears the problem.


Q. My mouse on my NT machine only has a 2-buttons, how do I do cut and paste of
   text in an xterm with the mouse?
A. In your $HOME/.Xdefaults put the following:
   XTerm*VT100.Translations: #override \
     <Btn3Down>:     ignore()\n\
     <Btn3Up>:       insert-selection(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0)


Q. What is the difference between Single Window Mode and Multiple Window Mode?
A. In Single Window Mode, eXalt starts up as one, large, single window and all
   xclients displayed to eXalt are contained within this window.  This behavior
   is more analogous to traditional X workstations and X Terminals.  This gives
   eXalt the concept of a "root" X window that some X applications expect.  This
   mode also allows a window manager such as Motif to be displayed to eXalt to
   manage the display.  Multiple Window Mode is more analogous to the Microsoft
   Windows environment.  Each x application displayed to eXalt in this mode will
   appear in its own window that is managed by the Microsoft Window Manager.
   There is no concept of a "root" X window in this mode.

Q. Sometimes applications will refuse to run or will fail with BadValue or
   BadAlloc messages.
A. It may be that the color settings on your system do not match what the
   application is expecting.  Many X applications are written assuming they have
   access to a 256 color lookup table. If they don't detect this, they will exit.
   Some applications do not check and try to allocate the resources they need.
   In these cases they will fail. To verify your color settings, activate the
   Display icon in the Control Panel.  If the Color Palette setting is something
   other than "256 Colors", change it to that setting and try your application
   again. Note that an application can cause these errors to be generated for
   reasons other than color depth.  

Q. When I start my application, I get a message similiar to
	"Default visual not handled yet"
	"Default visual not found"
	"Cannot find PseudoColor visual".
A. The application is most likely looking for a visual available only in the
   "256 colors" mode.  When running in the "65536 colors" or "True Color" mode,
   the only visual available is the TrueColor visual.  The application you are
   running may not be written to handle this case. To verify your color settings,
   activate the Display icon in the Control Panel.  If the Color Palette setting
   is something other than "256 Colors", change it to that setting and try your
   client again.
