I have just installed X11R2 on a Sun 3/160C. The first thing I did was
to exercise Xterm, in particular, requesting a scrollbar from the modes
menu. What actually happens is that I get dumped out of X. Has anyone
else noticed this behavior?
I saw a mention some time ago of a reported optimizer problem with X11
under SunOS, but the poster didn't give details. Or is this just the
usual problem of portable vax code :-) (Just a joke! I swear!)
When the problem is localized better, I'll forward a bug report to MIT.

I've been having problems with Xterm off the release 2 tapes on all of our machines. Looking at the source code I found that the problem is in the source. Many of the documented options (like loginShell, console, etc.) are not implemented correctly. They are half X10 and half X11. The two halfs don't talk to each other. For some options that fix is simple. I fixed loginShell with a two line change to 'main.c'. Has someone fixed up the source to Xv11.r2 xterm? I've fixed a few of the options, but not everything. I can provide what little I have done if anyone would like the diffs. What really needs to be done is for someone to sit down and fix it!

You have mentioned bugs in xterm. I think I have come across of one of them. I have been trying to bring up xterm window with a title bar but have not been successful. Do you have any idea where is the problem? I have followed the xterm document and the .Xdefaults stuff. If you have come across of such a problem or you have a fix, I'll be glad to hear about it.
