[comp.sys.sgi] Event handling on RS/6000 using GL

marcc@yoyodyne.ncsa.uiuc.edu (Marc Cooper) (12/19/90)

Ok.. I've heard the 6000 doesn't quite handle event queues nicely yet, and I 
seem to be bitten by this bug in trying to port my GL application.


If it matters, here's the first part of lslpp -h:

Option Name          State      Event      Date      Release         User Name
-------------------- ---------- ---------- --------- --------------- ----------
bos.obj              INACTIVE   COMMIT     02/02/90  03.01.0000.0000 root
                     INACTIVE   APPLY      08/03/90  03.01.0000.0001 root
                     INACTIVE   COMMIT     08/03/90  03.01.0000.0001 root
                     INACTIVE   APPLY      11/21/90  03.01.0001.0003 root
                     ACTIVE     COMMIT     11/21/90  03.01.0001.0003 root

It should be noted, however, that the last attmpt we made to upgrade our OS
failed for reasons unknown, so what the machine THINKS is there and what's
really there may be two different things.


Any hints regarding getting event queues to work would be much appreciated.
