I too would like to run X and Suntools under overview, but I can't seem to get it to work. I've tried sun2 and sun3 keyboards to no avail as well as compiling without RAW_KBD defined, L2 seems to always send a character code to the server rather than suspsending it. Have I overlooked something obvious, like keymap settings? Since prang is dead, I checked zap, but they X10R4 stuff is dated december 24, before the January message describing the X/SunView/overview integration. I also checked diamond.bbn.com, and v.sei.cmu.edu. No mods to Xsun anywhere. I'd appreciate a pointer to the Xsun sources which support switching back and forth using overview. Perhaps they could be stuffed into the pub/contrib directory on zap. Thank you. - Ralph Hyre (ralphw@ius2.cs.cmu.edu)

Have I overlooked something >obvious, like keymap settings? I've also tried to do this, and learned that you need to define *both* RAW_KBD and SUNTOOLS for Xsun to try to suspend itself in response to Meta-L2. However, when I did this, the keyboard mapping seemed totally broken; i.e., although Meta-L2 *did* suspend X inside overview, nothing else worked because the keyboard sent garbage. I never got around to looking at this any further, since my attention has shifted to the X11 alpha release. I should also mention that I was using the Xsun sources from prang, and not the original MIT version. -- Matt Landau "Waiting for a flash of enlightenment mlandau@diamond.bbn.com in all this blood and thunder..."
