I just installed VP/ix (version 1.1.0 -- the one that came with 386/ix version 1.0.6) on my ESIX (rev. D) system. Everything works fine, except I can no longer get my Logitech bus mouse to work as a DDA. It worked fine under 386/ix. When VP/ix starts, it says "Unable to open generic device /dev/logi" The device was successfully created by sysadm ddainstall, and the permissions are ok. Is there a trick to getting this to work? Or do I need to buy a newer version of VP/ix? And while composing this message, I discovered that I can't switch to another virtual console from a VP/ix session... -- John W.

To use a DDA with VP/ix you need a vdi driver, ISC has this as part of its base and AT&T gives this when you buy Simultask (AT&T's copy of VP/ix) You can't use /dev/logi do to the fact ESIX does not have a generic mouse driver with SYSV3.2. >And while composing this message, I discovered that I can't switch to another >virtual console from a VP/ix session...

The order is whatever order they are chained in. If you want to make sure that VT_NEXT moves VT01, VT02, VT03 etc, make sure you are sitting on VT01 when you launch VT02 and so forth. -- The genius of you Americans is that you never make ** Tom Neff any clear-cut stupid moves, only complicated stupid ** tneff@bfmny0.BFM.COM moves that leave us scratching our heads wondering if we might possibly have missed something. -- Gamel Abdel Nasser
