[comp.sys.hp] Problems with HP-X-Terminals

rt@sapwdf.UUCP (Ralph Treitz) (01/15/91)

Hi there,

My HP-X-Terminal causes some unexpected trouble. My question is, whether
there are others with the same experiences, perhaps even with an idea, how
to fix it.

Problem is, that the Terminal is going to hang sometimes. I mean, that
I'm working and suddenly ( mostly when I start to use the mouse, to open
another window ), the X-server does not respond. There is no changing of
windows, .... No action at all.

Sometimes the total breakdown is announced by the misbehaviour of a single
window, mostly one which is currently showing vi.

It seems to be a problem of timing. Vi, being char-oriented is interactive,
the mouse is producing a lot of I/O, ... then things are confused. Maybe.
Any other idea ? Oh, I should add the information, that I'm on Software-
Release B.03.00.

Thanx for any answer ( if there will be mail-info, I will summarize for the
net-community ).
