[comp.unix.aux] Screen dies when mouse goes off screen

roger@caldwr.water.ca.gov (Roger Linder) (04/16/91)

First a disclaimer:

I have not followed this group for any substantial period of time.
I am helping an A/UX user, and do not have an A/UX system of my own.
I'm an A/UX user wannabe.
I can provide more inforamtion, if requested, and may supply more as I
begin to better understand the problem.
I am posting without all information at my fingertips, but want to get a
query out quickly.


That said...

When the mouse is moved off of the lower right corner of a 19" screen the
screen blanks, with only the "apple" logo showing.  Clicking around the screen
will activate appropriate stuff, and the keyboard is active, but nothing is
shown on the screen. A restart appears to be the only way out.

This is a A/UX 2.0 installation on a IIx.

Questions

1) Has anyone else seen this problem?  Is it fixable?
2) What other information would be useful to better describe the problem
   or environment?

Thanks... Roger

More info on this problem...

The monitor is a SuperMac technology monitor
Sometimes just the color table changes, the screen is visible with two
hues of the same color.  Bringing up a color wheel will restore the screen

It happens both with or without the mouse clicked.
