Description of problem: Our custom software suite is exceeding the maximum number of connections allowed to the RHEL 4 XOrg X11 server. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL4U3 WS How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open 250+ applications accessing a single X11 server 2. 3. Actual results: Xlib: connection to "my_server:0.0" refused by server Xlib: Maximum number of clients reached Expected results: We have a complex silmulation from 100s of processes accessing a single 6 headed computer display and we would need to open up at least 500 connections to the X server to meet our requirement. We would like the maximum number of connections allowed to be configurable on the X-Server. Additional info: Hardware config for X-Server machine is HP XW8200 3.8GHz Xeon with 1GB RAM
This was fixed in RHEL 4.6, in xorg-x11 6.8.2-1.EL.25 and later.
