Has anyone installed AOS 4.3 rel. 3 (December release) with X11 for use with a megapel? I have run into two strange problems. The root mouse cursor and the xterm mouse cursor is invisible when using the megapel, but not on an APA16. The other problem is that when after starting up with an ega and a megapel, moving the mouse cursor from one to the other causes the server to crash. Any pointers would be appreciated. --David Wine University of California at Los Angeles wine@cs.ucla.edu Computer Science Department (213) 825-6121 3531 Boelter Hall ...!(uunet,rutgers,ucbvax,randvax)!cs.ucla.edu!wine Los Angeles, CA 90024 University of California at Los Angeles wine@cs.ucla.edu Computer Science Department (213) 825-6121 3531 Boelter Hall ...!(uunet,rutgers,ucbvax,randvax)!cs.ucla.edu!wine Los Angeles, CA 90024

On the December release of IBM/4.3 the Megapel server for X11R2 does not show the mouse cursor. In order to fix this problem a simple recompilation of the Xibm server is required. However the source code distribution for the Xibm server has a couple of problems. Follow the steps below: 1) Copy the header files in server/ddx/ibm/ppc from the September release of the X11R2 source code. 2) Edit the makefile in server/ddx/ibm/ppc and edit the line ${OBJ}.o : ${OBJ}.obj to read ${OBJ}.o: i.e. remove the dependancy for ${OBJ}.obj 3) Similarly edit the Makefile in server/ddx/ibm/ibm8514 and comment out test -f src && (cd src; make ; cp ibm8514.o ../ibm8514.obj) 4) Now go to the top level of the server directory and run make This should build an Xibm server with the correct mouse cursor. Should you have any questions please contact the ACSC in LA. >The other problem is that when after starting up with an ega and >a megapel, moving the mouse cursor from one to the other causes >the server to crash. Did you check whether you have the CGA emulation jumper on the megapel board in the right position? CGA emulation should be turned off on the megapel for proper operation.
