few days ago I was asking why the ISC box I am running with X1.1 would die if I flipped between VT's. Well, looks like it is the mouse - I am using LogiTech serial mouse and everytime when I start X it would complain about the mouse not responding. Basically, I have to execute xinit twice to get X running. When you flip between VT's, the mouse state is checked by X it seems - so when X finds the mouse not ready, it dies, complaining about server connection getting lost. I have done this on 3 systems: 1 with a microsoft s mouse, one with a logitech bus mouse, one with logitech serial mouse. The only one that dies when flipped between VT's is on the system with the Logi serial mouse. (All are running on monochrome HRC x server). Well, I have another problem with ISC X i wonder if anybody has seen: Does anybody know if XPutImage from ISC X version 1.1 is broken or not? I am trying to display a 1782 pixel wide by 1096 scanline high fax image in a ISC motif scrolled window, with the work area (the image) managed auto- matically by the widget. And when I move the horizontal and vertical scrollbars, the image would scroll as the MOTIF doc on XmScrolledWindow says it would. However, the scrolling leaves big holes in the clip window - portions of the image that should be displayed are not displayed at all. Then I tried using XPutImage alone, without the scrolling window, to display a portion of the image, and that alone would leave holes in the window. I have no trouble displaying XLOGO using XPutImage. it seems when the image is too big XPutImage wont handle it correctly. I havent tried putting up the image block by block yet... I'd like to know if it is something I am doing, or if it is the XLIB from ISC, that caused the problem... other than that the Motif package and XLIB from ISC havent given me real problems. I have been chasing this nasty bug for about a week now , so any hints would be appreciated. merci - bruce deadhead@cup.portal.com
