I'm trying to build emacs 18.51 to work with X11 on a Microvax 2000 (qvss display). It builds ok, except that X11term.h tries to include <X11/X10.h> which doesn't exist. I commented this out and emacs compile & dumps ok. When I run xemacs, it opens a window and builds the screen, but I don't get a cursor, and it won't respond to keyboard input at all. I'm going to try rebuilding from scratch, but the I think that the distribution is clean. Has anyone done this/seen this before? I'm running X11R2. -- :alex.

The file X10.h can be found in X11R2/lib/oldX/X10.h, you should install it in your /usr/include/X11 directory. > When I run xemacs, it opens a window and builds the screen, but I > don't get a cursor, and it won't respond to keyboard input at all.

The patches are approx 36K and were mostly written by Dana Chee <dana@bellcore.com> and were tested by the recipients of the emacs-11@bloom-beacon.mit.edu mailing list. [Alex, I will be mailing you a copy of these patches (as a separate message to save the xpert list some bandwidth).] > Has anyone done this/seen this before? I'm running X11R2. While I do not run X11R2 & emacs on a Microvax 2000, I am fairly certain that someone on the emacs-11 list does or has so I am cross-posting this message to that list. Maybe someone there can help you. If you wish to join the emacs-11 mailing list, send your request to emacs-11-request@bloom-beacon.mit.edu. This list has been rather quite since the last set of patches were distributed. [Volunteers to implement support for the iconGeometry resource welcome.] The emacs-11 list is probably more able to answer your question about emacs and X11 interactions.
