I couldn't find this one in the FAQ's, so here goes. . . I'm trying to build X on my SS1. Everything seems to work, 'cept that I can't type into any of the windows! Here's what I did: o read the tapes into a personal directory o changed the DestDir: #define DestDir /home/ups1/a/rpeck/Bigdisk/X/sun/install o changed to no-shared-libs (didn't know about fixing ld.so with ldconfig at the time) o added the include dirs to StandardCppDefines: #define StandardCppDefines \ -I/home/ups2/j/cobra/rpeck/X/sun/mit/include \ -I/home/ups2/j/cobra/rpeck/X/sun/mit/server/include o did make World >& make_world_msgs ; \ make install >& make_install_msgs Now, when I do xinit with stolen .X11init .Xdefaults .xinitrc, several xterms come up, along with an xclock and an oclock. twm works, and I can move/resize/etc. The xterms are listening: I can rlogin from another host and cat foo > /dev/console or cat foo > /dev/ptty1 and see the text on the screen. But. . . I can't *type*!! (Actually, I can type and nothing happens). Any clues? /**************************************************************** * Ray Peck "The cumulative effects of * * MIPS Design Engineer combustion will render the * * LSI Logic Corporation planet uninhabitable long *

Now, when I do xinit with stolen .X11init .Xdefaults .xinitrc, several xterms come up, along with an xclock and an oclock. twm works, and I can move/resize/etc. The xterms are listening: I can rlogin from another host and cat foo > /dev/console or cat foo > /dev/ptty1 and see the text on the screen. But. . . I can't *type*!! (Actually, I can type and nothing happens). The same thing happens whan I use default .xxx or missing .xxx files. Any clues? I thought perhaps my tapes were old, but I just compared dates on the ddx and dix files against those on gatekeeper.dec.com, and they are the same. I have spent two weeks on this, and cannot figure out what the @#$^&% is going on.
