I get the following message when I try to display something to my screen :-

behp666 # Xlib: connection to "behp525:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Maximum number of clients reached
Error: Can't open display: behp525:0.0
Error: Couldn't find per display information

How can I increase the max no of X clients on my wkstn?

Gary,

I believe you can modify the /etc/X11/X0screens configuration file -

increase the FileDescriptors parameter.

HTH.

I beleive you're right ...

Also see /usr/lib/X11/Xserver/info/screens/hp

FileDescriptors
# The number of file descriptors available to the X server
# for its use. The number of connections (clients, more or less)
# is limited by the number of file descriptors.
#
# The minimum value is 25, and a current (as of 10.20) maximum of
# 384, allowing a maximum of slightly under 256 total connections to the
# Server. The default value is 192 (which allows a few under 128
# connections). If a value provided is out of range, the server yields
a
#warning and continues using the minimum or maximum, as appropriate.
#

NB this value can be changed via Sam -> Display-> Xserver config-> Modify Server options.

Both methods require the Xserver to be restarted.

However is this a local HP Xserver or PC Xemulation ?

It is a local HP Xserver.

Gary,

The two gents above got it fully correct.
