ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for Motif on OpenVMS AXP V1.0. This
kit addresses the following problems:

  o  Running the Abaqus X Windows application over time causes the
     display server to hang.  To prevent this problem, Dumb Color
     Frame Buffer mode can be used by disabling Smart Frame Buffer
     (SFB) mode, but graphics performance will be degraded.

     To disable SFB, define the Smart Mode logical FALSE
     (e.g., DEFINE/SYS/EXEC DECW$SERVER_SMART_FRAME_BUFFER FALSE)
     then restart the server using the following command:

          $ @SYS$MANAGER:DECW$STARTUP RESTART

  o  Running the EUCLID demonstration program over time causes the
     server to fail with an ACCVIO (Access Violation).

  o  The keyboard mode switch key is not recognized by the server and
     the key translation is wrong (i.e., the modifier mapping is not
     set up correctly).  When this occurs, the soft-switch
     functionality used to switch the keyboard to lock-down mode is
     not operational.

INSTALLATION NOTES:

 1.  Before installing this ECO kit, ensure that the system process
     quota 'JTQUOTA' is set to 4096. (This is the default value for
     AXP systems.)  If JTQUOTA is set to a value less than 4096,
     installation of this kit may fail with the following error:

          %SYSTEM-F-EXLNMQUOTA, logical name table is full

     To determine the current value of JTQUOTA, issue the following
     commands:

          $ SET DEFAULT SYS$SYSTEM
          $ RUN AUTHORIZE
          UAF> SHOW SYSTEM

     If the value of JTQUOTA is too low on your system, modify the
     quota value as shown below:

          UAF> MODIFY SYSTEM/JTQUOTA=4096
          UAF> EXIT

 2.  This patch kit includes driver images.  All workstation nodes
     must be rebooted for the patch to take effect.  Non-workstation
     nodes are not affected.
