/***** mrevox:comp.sys.sun / rice!sun-spots-request / 6:26 am Mar 1, 1989*/ I have just gotten X11R3 up and running on my Sun 386i, and now (as I expected) I can no longer fire up my DOS windows like I could with SunView. Is there some way of doing this?... /* ---------- */ What I do is to start up Sunview, then start up X11R3 under overview (see overview(1)). To get back to sunview from X11, type <left diamond><L2>. To get back to X11 from Sunview, click on the overview icon. The command to start up X11 from sunview is: overview -w xinit [-geometry XxY] [-fn font] [-- server [-a x] [-t x]] This lets you switch back and forth between X11 (which I use most of the time) and Sunview (which I use mainly to get at the DOS window).

Does the X11 server (or xinit) intercept the <left diamond><L2> or does overview? When I try this with X10.4, nothing happens. -Pete Peter Johnson pete@escher.intel.COM {amdcad,decwrl,hplabs,oliveb,pur-ee,qantel}!intelca!mipos3!pete
