Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk rxvt (*unlike* xterm) can only open about 12 windows in X. xterm seems about unlimited. I've added CHILD_MAX=128 and OPEN_MAX=128, as well as pseudo-device pty 256 to the kernel, and executed a MAKEDEV pty7. I don't understand why rxvt yields the error "rxvt: can't open a psuedo-teletype; rxvt: quitting" on the 13th window, but I can open xterms until my carpal tunnel acts up! Suggestions? I need about 4x this many rxvt windows. Regards. ---------------------------------- Larry Marso date: 06-Mar-97 Time: 11:21:07
