[comp.windows.x] twm on Apollo

paulm@seqp4.ORG (Paul Mitchell) (05/04/91)

I'm trying to get twm running on my apollo and am having problems.
We're running Xapollo as the server under domain 10.3.

The problem is this: twm starts up alright, places title bars on all
windows like its supposed to etc.  The twm menus are also functional.
However the entire keyboard seems to be disabled.  I.e. when an xterm
is brought up, it looks alright, but all keypresses inside the xterm
are ignored.  Emacs windows behave the same way.  Xev detects all mouse
events (as do xterm and emacs) but also fails to detect any keypresses.

To rephrase the problem: twm starts up "normally".  The mouse buttons 
work "normally".  The keyboard appears to be completly disabled.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.  It's not a big deal that I have
twm on my system (I currently use uwm) but I've started this process
and would hate to give up when it's so close to working.

Thanks in advance.....Paul
