Filed:

Jul 20, 1998

Appl. No.:

09/119107

Inventors:

Jeffrey J. Walls - Fort Collins CO
Gregory R. Allen - Fort Collins CO
Derek J. Lukasik - Fort Collins CO

Assignee:

Hewlett-Packard Company - Palo Alto CA

International Classification:

G06F 1516

US Classification:

345744, 707203

Abstract:

A single logical screen display system includes a client process, a master server process and plural slave server processes. Each of the slave server processes runs on a separate remote computer system. The master server process maintains network connections with the client process and with each of the slave server processes. The client process issues single logical screen window system requests to the master server process. The master server process issues physical screen window system requests to the slave server processes. Each slave server process controls one of a plurality of physical display devices. The plural physical display devices comprise a composite display on which the single logical screen appears.

Abstract:

A method of securely connecting a plurality of client computers to computer resources in a shared computer system by extending client network domains around computer resources in the shared computer system. The network domains of different clients remain isolated from one another in the shared computer system. The method includes associating each of the plurality of client computers with at least one virtual private network connection. The plurality of client computers are remotely connected to at least one virtual private network termination device in the shared computer system. The at least one virtual private network connection is established by the at least one virtual private network termination device. The at least one virtual private network connection is associated with a plurality of virtual local area networks. At least one of the computer resources in the shared computer system is associated with each of the plurality of virtual local area networks.

Abstract:

A method for handling events in an X Window System environment is disclosed. First and second events are detected in first and second server processes, respectively. First event data corresponding to the first event is stored in a first event cache associated with the first server process. Second event data corresponding to the second event is stored in a second event cache associated with the second server process. The first and second server processes are polled to determine whether they have detected any events. If it is determined that both the first and second server processes have detected events, the first and second event data is requeted from the first and second server processes. The first and second event data is coalesced into coalesced event data. The coalesced event data is delivered to a client process.
