I just installed ACIS 4.3 on my machine and am having some problems
with XV10R4 (NOTE: This is not the X that comes with the 4.3 tape and
that ACIS provides mods for with their distribution). Specifically:
- compilation with the Metaware High C compiler doesn't work.
1. libibm/libsrc/bitblt_subr.c is apparently too complex for HC.
2. when mixing HC and PCC-compiled object (e.g. to get around problem
#1), the X display server (apa16) draws skewed lines rather than
a proper rubber-band box rectangle when I try to run xterm.
- Xapa16 dumps core when built completely with PCC. This same release
of X used to work under ACIS 4.2. It "greys" the display and puts
up a proper X cursor but then croaks shortly after starting xterm.
A single horizontal line appears where the rubber-band box should be
and then any mouse motion blows it away.
- Ed Moy's 6.6B xterm doesn't cause anything at all to display. I never
had this one working (was using 6.6A) under ACIS 4.2, so....
Any suggestions or diffs would be greatly appreciated.
