I'm running SunOS 4.1 on a 3/160, and have had no luck in getting X windows running correctly. The problem doesn't seem to be with the X code itself, since the same problem has appeared after building releases from two sites and with/whithout gcc. The problem is this: when I drag the mouse cursor across certain horizontal boundaries, it refreshes the stuff under it over to the right by about 4mm. If you do it again, it smears it out further. So, on the left of a window, for example, the desktop will get smeared into the window, and on the right, the window gets smeared out onto the desktop. xeyes gets -really- messed up. The weird thing is that it never screws up text; only borders and fat graphics. It sounds like a problem with whatever graphics libraries X links with itself. I've never tried using them, so I don't know. Any ideas? -Roger rg@[msel|unhd].unh.edu | UNH Marine Systems Engineering Laboratory r_gonzalez@unhh.bitnet | Durham, NH 03824-3525
