Setting 4DWm'position on screen to false? - Intuition - 12-12-2019

I have just installed Power Animator 8.5 and upon start it is warning me that I have an X11 resource warning. 

4DWm*positionOnScreen: is set to 'true', it should be 'false'.

How can I set this?

in .Xdefaults.

I'd assume that is in /var/X11/ somewhere?

Should be in ~/.Xdefaults

You need to create the file and set it on its own line

Yeah, I don't see it on the root or in my $home like many webpages mention for Irix, Unix, or Linux.

The weird thing is that it is set to 'true' somewhere so I am wondering where?

Another strange thing is that Power Animator 9 runs fine but even though I now have 8.5 licensed it starts, I see the splash and UI show up and then it disappears.
Wonder if its similar to the PA9 install probs I had on the other Octane drive? It complains about swap memory too before crashing.

Though, in surprising fashion I did get Houdini 6.5 running. The previous tut I made was in 5.5.

You have to create the file using vim or nano or another text editor.

The Xdefaults file is inherited, so those are the IRIX defaults, until you override them.
