Solaris 2.6 Xlib Connections
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.
