XIO: fatal IO error 54

[Robert Hartwig]

Hi,

I'm having an issues using a port X application with SFU 3
on Windows 2000. It looks like the local X application
using the SFU 3 X libraries always wants to make a winsock
connection to the X server (i.e. Hummingbird's Exceed).
Is there a way to make a "local" connection with SFU
without going though the network?

I having a complex network and my network connection get
disconnected sometimes. When I have network issues, I get
the following error from SFU:

XIO: fatal IO error 54 (Connection reset by peer) on
Xserver "<pcname:0.0>" after 43 requests (37 known
processed) with 0 events remaining.

When using Hummingbirds X libraries, it creates a pipe
using share memory and connects directly to the Xserver
and bypass the network altogther.

Thanks,

Rob

The X11 libs with Interix go only over the network (even
if it is a loopback). There was some discussion about
doing a shared memory thing that would allow an X server
connection to remain local. But the discussion didn't go
anywhere with various parties.

FWIW I get the same problem occationally.
