How many windows

Does anyone know how many windows the X server can handle. I have a workstation that seem to reach a limit and won't open any more until some are closed (and there are a lot of windows open).

If this the limit or can it increased?

Re: How many windows

You could try this:

In /etc/dt/config/Xservers:

* Local local@console /usr/bin/X11/X :0

to:

* Local local@console /usr/bin/X11/X :0 -lf 128

The -lf is limit number of open files to N (max 128)

This actually means "limit the number of clients". You need to specify the option when the server is run.

Hi


Look at kmtune value for maxuprc and see
if that agrees with the windows

If so raise it

You could be hitting a memory problem but normally the maximum user processes will control.

Could be the max number of ptys too
Never preceed any demonstration with anything more predictive than "watch this"
