This appears like a system problem: it seems your X cannot convert<br>
"millimeter" units to pixels. Check with xdpyinfo, i.e.:<br>
<br>
xdpyinfo | grep dimensions<br>
<br>
I get:<br>
dimensions: 1680x1050 pixels (444x277 millimeters)<br>
<br>
but I suppose you will get something like:<br>
dimensions: 3000x2000 pixels (0x0 millimeters)<br>
<br>
You can solve this with:<br>
<br>
xrandr --dpi 96<br>
<br>
<br>
The alternative is that you modify the xcrysden code and replace the<br>
millimeter specs with the pixel specs. For the particular error you<br>
got, edit the Tcl/xcInit.tcl file and change "0m" to "0" in the line:<br>
<br>
"pack .title.f.l .title.f.l2 -side top -fill both -padx 0m -pady 0m"<br>
<br>
<br>
Best regards, Tone<br>
