SUMMARY: Solaris 2.6 Xlib Connections

• Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] [ attachment ]

Thanks goes out to Craig Shaver for his reply (the only one I received).
Here is his response to me:
-----
It sure looks to me like you ran out of pty's. You need to specify
more than 48 (the default) pty's in /etc/system. Not sure of the
specific set pty syntax, but should be in the answerbook. Or
at docs.sun.com.

Ok, I took a quick peek. It should be

set pt_cnt=128

or whatever..... this is from 2.5, I don't think it should
change under 2.6, but .....

This was in the 2.5 sys admin answerbook, sysadmin guide vol II,
tuning kernel parameters.
-------

I added the set pt_cnt=128 in my /etc/system file and then did a boot
-r. Problem resolved. I can now pop windows and apps to my heart's
content.

..Again thanks to Craig.
