Subject: X11 Release 3 availability announcement, IBM/4.3 patches
Index: X11r3 MIT announcement, IBM/4.3 patch file location
Description:
Many requests have been made for a version of X11 release 3 for
IBM/4.3. X11 release 2 is IBM's supported product, not release 3.
However, to assist users of IBM's 4.3 Unix PRPQ on the 6150, 6151,
and 6152 platforms who wish to install release 3, the announcement
describing X11r3, and how to get it, as published by Bob Scheifler,
Jim Fulton, Keith Packard, Donna Converse, and Michelle Leger of
the X Consortium, MIT Laboratory for Computer Science, and Ralph
Swick of MIT's Project Athena follows.
Note that X11 release 3 distribution and the improvements made since
the release of X11r3 for the IBM RT are NOT AVAILABLE from either
the host ibmsupt, IBM's Advanced Workstations Division (Palo Alto),
or the ACSC. These are only availble directly from MIT, or other
locations on the Internet as described below.
The latest IBM/4.3 code (patches, etc.) is available via anonymous ftp
from expo.lcs.mit.edu, the file name is:
contrib/ibm-rt.r3-fixes.tar.Z
The size of this file it is about 730k. The Scheifler et al announcement
follows.

vendors are actively encouraged to base products upon this software.
This release is available from the MIT Software Center, the DARPA Internet
sites listed below, the UUNET Project, and several consulting/mail-order firms.
It is organized into three pieces: the core software, user-contributed
toolkits, and the rest of the user-contributed software. Sites that that have
access to the Internet will be able to retreive all three pieces themselves

X11r3 has been available for some time now. Does this announcement mean that it *now works* on an RT?

Please note: The announcement regarding X11r3 did not refer to IBM PC/RT AIX v2.2.1. AIX-RT supports X11r3 already and has for some time. "the no-nonsense guy" robin@sabre

It's also worked fine for some time now (if you've had the space to do a complete rebuild and a reasonalbly late-model hc compiler.) The fixed version source has been on expo.lcs.mit.edu for a long time now (see Jeff Weinstein's articles of several months ago.) -- Steve Dyer dyer@ursa-major.spdcc.com aka {ima,harvard,rayssd,linus,m2c}!spdcc!dyer dyer@arktouros.mit.edu, dyer@hstbme.mit.edu

The X11R3 patches that are currently on expo.lcs.mit.edu
have been there since May.
This server still has quite a few bugs.
For example, Magic (the VLSI layout editor), with the X11 driver
that was released with X11R3 (in the contrib directory),
causes the X11R3 server on the RT with a Megapel display to crash.
The same Magic binaries work fine with the X11R2 server
released in the Sept 88 release of 4.3 for the RT.
Does anybody have additional patches for the RT for X11R3 ?

>Does anybody have additional patches for the RT for X11R3 ? These are the patches we have since the May 89 archive on expo. The usual disclaimers apply (use at your own risk, etc.), but this is the code we build for the RTs at Athena. Patches are delimited by "++++++++++++++++"; the name of the file to be patched is in parentheses on the line after this (filename relative to $(TOP)/server/ddx/ibm). Bugs fixed: Poly point requests on the megapel no longer crash the server. Cursor code on multiple screens is more reliable (the server won't attempt to draw the cursor if it is off the screen). Drawing of partially obscured text is now done correctly. A bug in the HC compiler caused dashed lines off the edge of the screen to crash the server. ++++++++++++++++ (mpel/mpelPolyPt.c) *** /tmp/,RCSt1015368 Sat Oct 28 17:36:32 1989 --- /tmp/,RCSt2015368 Sat Oct 28 17:36:35 1989 *************** *** 89,95 **** &box ) ; ppt++ ) /* Do Nothing */ ; ! for ( mpt = ppt ; npt-- ; ppt++ ) if ( (* PointInRegion)( pRegion, ppt->x, ppt->y, &box ) ) *mpt++ = *ppt ; --- 89,95 ---- &box ) ; ppt++ ) /* Do Nothing */ ; ! for ( mpt = ppt ; npt-- > 0; ppt++ ) if ( (* PointInRegion)( pRegion, ppt->x, ppt->y, &box ) ) *mpt++ = *ppt ; ++++++++++++++++ (mpel/mpelIO.c) *** /tmp/,RCSt1015413 Sat Oct 28 17:37:58 1989 --- /tmp/,RCSt2015413 Sat Oct 28 17:38:02 1989 *************** *** 76,81 **** --- 76,82 ---- ppcCommonScreenInit( pScreen, index, &mpelScreenRec ) ; mpelCursorInit( index ) ; + mpelInitPlaneMask() ; return 1 ; } ++++++++++++++++ (mpel/mpelCursor.c) *** /tmp/,RCSt1015351 Sat Oct 28 17:36:07 1989 --- /tmp/,RCSt2015351 Sat Oct 28 17:36:11 1989 *************** *** 97,102 **** --- 97,104 ---- if ( ibmScreenState( screen_index ) != SCREEN_ACTIVE ) return ; curCursor = ibmCurrentCursor( screen_index ) ; + if (x >= MPEL_WIDTH || (x + curCursor->width) < 0) + return; /* off the screen, don't bother */ fSrc = (unsigned short int *) forePtrn ; bSrc = (unsigned short int *) backPtrn ; ++++++++++++++++ (apa16/apa16Line.c) *** /tmp/,RCSt1015478 Sat Oct 28 17:45:09 1989 --- /tmp/,RCSt2015478 Sat Oct 28 17:45:11 1989 *************** *** 630,636 **** --- 630,641 ---- { if (pdash->newLine) { + #if HCVERSION > 1 + pt1Orig = *pptInit; + pt1 = *pptInit++; + #else pt1Orig = pt1 = *pptInit++; + #endif pt2 = *pptInit; adx = pt2.x - pt1.x; ady = pt2.y - pt1.y; ++++++++++++++++ (apa16/apa16Text.c) *** /tmp/,RCSt1015504 Sat Oct 28 17:47:24 1989 --- /tmp/,RCSt2015504 Sat Oct 28 17:47:26 1989 *************** *** 423,429 **** --- 423,431 ---- charsOut++; tmpCinfo++; } + break; case rgnOUT: + x += info.overallWidth; break; case rgnPART: QUEUE_RESET(); ++++++++++++++++ (apa16/apa16Curs.c) *** /tmp/,RCSt1015539 Sat Oct 28 17:54:31 1989 --- /tmp/,RCSt2015539 Sat Oct 28 17:54:33 1989 *************** *** 221,230 **** --- 221,232 ---- if ( ibmScreenState(ibmCurrentScreen)!= SCREEN_ACTIVE) { return; } + APA16_GET_CMD(ROP_RECT_COPY,GXcopy,cmd); if (x<ibmCursorHotX(ibmCurrentScreen)) { offset= ibmCursorHotX(ibmCurrentScreen)-x; apa16ClearCursor(ACTIVE_CURSOR); + if (offset < CURSOR_WIDTH) { QUEUE_RESET(); COPY_RECT(cmd, AND_EDGE(ACTIVE_CURSOR)-offset, CURSOR_AREA_BOTTOM, AND_EDGE(currentCursor), CURSOR_AREA_BOTTOM, *************** *** 232,237 **** --- 234,240 ---- COPY_RECT(cmd, XOR_EDGE(ACTIVE_CURSOR)-offset, CURSOR_AREA_BOTTOM, XOR_EDGE(currentCursor), CURSOR_AREA_BOTTOM, CURSOR_WIDTH-offset, CURSOR_HEIGHT); + } CURSOR_X= 0; CURSOR_Y= y-ibmCursorHotY(ibmCurrentScreen); obscured= TRUE; *************** *** 239,244 **** --- 242,248 ---- else if (x>APA16_WIDTH-CURSOR_WIDTH+ibmCursorHotX(ibmCurrentScreen)) { offset= x-APA16_WIDTH-ibmCursorHotX(ibmCurrentScreen)+CURSOR_WIDTH; apa16ClearCursor(ACTIVE_CURSOR); + if (offset < CURSOR_WIDTH) { QUEUE_RESET(); COPY_RECT(cmd, AND_EDGE(ACTIVE_CURSOR), CURSOR_AREA_BOTTOM, AND_EDGE(currentCursor)-offset, CURSOR_AREA_BOTTOM, *************** *** 246,251 **** --- 250,256 ---- COPY_RECT(cmd, XOR_EDGE(ACTIVE_CURSOR), CURSOR_AREA_BOTTOM, XOR_EDGE(currentCursor)-offset, CURSOR_AREA_BOTTOM, CURSOR_WIDTH-offset, CURSOR_HEIGHT); + } CURSOR_X= APA16_WIDTH-48; CURSOR_Y= y-ibmCursorHotY(ibmCurrentScreen); obscured= TRUE; ++++++++++++++++ --John Carr (jfc@athena.mit.edu) Project Athena Systems Development
