I've been trying to start development of a program normally running
under SunOS/X11 on XFreeBSD-1.1(Beta) and XFree86.
 I was wondering wether someone else had any experience with the
following faults:

For some resources set for a few Motif widgets the warning message;
"warning: Converter from Text to Window not installed", is displayed
and the resources does not work as planned. (I am not sure that Motif
has been proerly installed, allthough mwm seems to be working fine).
 The resources is for the placement of widgets inside a XmForm and so
it has the, not so amusing, effect of displacing the widgets rather
dramatically 8).

Also, some of the macros in XFree86; DisplayWidth, DisplayHeight and
DefaultDepth, returns strange values (se article in
comp.os.386bsd.bugs).

So, have you had any similar problem? If so, please tell me your
experiences.

thank you for your time,
/Johan
