[comp.windows.x] X problem under Ultrix 2.3

nakada@husc8.HARVARD.EDU (Paul Nakada) (01/07/89)

I've got a strange one here.  I've brought X11R3 up on two of three
Microvaxen here, with no problems at all.  The third workstation is 
giving us a very strange problem.  it seems as though everything is in
order, except that every carriage return must be typed twice in order
for the shell to receive one.   Anyone have any ideas?
The same problem is visible with xdm/xterm.. basically anywhere where a
CR is needed...

thanks in advance

This problem can occur otherwise under Ultrix, too.  Try unplugging
the keyboard, then plugging it back in.  You'll see the same problem.

Ultrix doesn't recognize the "device disconnect" here (you wouldn't
see this under VMS, I'm told).  The fix is to reboot, perhaps
from power down.  That may solve your problem, too.

Actually, a couple of "xset c off" usually fixes this problem for me.
