Motif uses certain default accelerators. My keyboard does not have one of these default keys so I have to map it to a key I already have before Motif then does its mapping. Can someone tell me how to do this? Below I explain the problem in detail and discuss the measures I have taken to remedy the situation. I have installed motif 1.1 on a Sun 3/160 running Sun 4.1. When I start up mwm I receive a warning stating that I have an "invalid accelerator at line 7 of my specification." I've traced it to the default accelerator bindings. The 7th default internal to mwm is: Maximize Alt+F10 My keyboard has no F10, so it gives me a non-fatal warning. Mwm takes its default bindings and merges them you declare in your .motifbind file. I know I can fix the problem by altering the mwm source, changing the F10 to anther key and recompiling, but I'd like a work around so that if I install on another odd keyboard I won't have to recompile. I have tried to change my F10 binding in the XKeysymDb located in /usr/lib/X11. i.e.: osfF10 1004FFC1 (I map F10 to L10) but that didn't work either or I did it wrong. At this point I am stuck and would appreciate a simple solution to the problem. Thanks. -- Jan D. Narkiewicz, narkiewi@umvlsi.ecs.umass.edu
