Does anybody know how to stop the X server under Ultrix 4.0 from binding the
F1 Key to a hold screen function. I need to use the key for something else...
Also, on a color server many of the DECwindow icons, such as dxcalendar and
dxmail, loose the pixmap and functionality. Is there a resource that will
allow Mwm to use icon pixmaps greater than 1 bit deep...

F1 on my system does a f.raise, just like I asked it to in my .twmrc. What window manager are you using?

The original poster didn't say which machine he was using, but I assumed it was acting the same way our VS2000's do. The color version uses the F1 key for "hold screen" even in single-user mode, and there doesn't appear to be a way to get around that EVEN USING twm, which is the window manager I use. It only seems to be this way on the color version of the 2000 - the monochrome machine that we have exhibits no such behaviour. Brian Smith -- Brian V.
