[DECtec] [HECnet] RE: Slight OT: SIMH Framebuffer support

by e.olofsen＠xs4all.nl

Hi Mark, I just tried the updated code for the QVSS display, for which there were issues with the mouse. The network boot setup that I had to boot a real VAXStation with VMS 5.5-2, already worked with the microvax2, and now indeed the mouse works too in DECWindows! Thank you!

Please create an issue at: https://github.com/simh/simh/issues and outline your problem. Include the output of SHOW VERSION from within the simulator. - Mark On Saturday, June 15, 2013 at 2:24 PM, Erik Olofsen wrote: Hi Mark and others trying QVSS support, Compiling a microvax2 with the QVSS display under Ubuntu on a laptop was successful. Booting an image for my VAXStation 3100 with device XQA0 was also successful and it was possible to login at the DECWindows login screen and the usual windows appeared - great!!! Unfortunately, the mouse does not work (moving and clicking), although with ctrl-right-shift the mouse releases. This is not really an issue with the QVSS display, and it could be because I used a VAXStation 3100 image; but should a mouse be configured in simh's initialization file?

Just last night I got code pieces from Matt Burke (the guy at 9track.net) to add VCB01 (QVSS) support to the simh codebase for the MicroVAX I and MicroVAX II simulators. I'm in the process of merging that code and adding the necessary build mechanisms to the makefile as we speak. This will be cleaned up and visible at https://github.com/simh/simh in at most a couple of days.... For folks who build their own binaries, the latest github code has a VAXStation I and VAXStation II with the MonoChrome QVSS video capabilities. sim> SET CPU MODEL=VAXSTATION enables the video subsystem. The VAXStation I has a limit of 4MB of RAM, the VAXStation II has a limit of 16MB. The makefile should just build the right thing if the development support for libSDL is installed on your platform. Please provide bug reports and/or other feedback with issues created at https://github.com/simh/simh/issues There is a glitch in my scripts which build and package the windows binaries which is failing to build the simulators with video support, so folks who count on the Windows Binaries will have to wait until I fix this.

Bizarre RSTS/E and SIMH issue...

by jg＠jordi.guillaumes.name

Cory, you could try to dissable asynchronous IO (SET NOASYNCH) and see if the crash goes away. Anyways, I think this should be reported as a simh issue in the project github.

The message you're seeing is for the Unix error code EAGAIN, which normally shows up with non-blocking I/O -- if the operation would have resulted in blocking, you get EAGAIN instead if you asked for non-blocking mode. For example, a read when the data isn't available yet. This may be a case of setting non-blocking mode but not handing the resulting error returns correctly in all cases. paul On Jul 26, 2013, at 10:07 AM, Cory Smelosky wrote: On 26 Jul 2013, at 10:05, Paul_Koning <Paul_Koning at Dell.com<mailto:Paul_Koning at Dell.com>> wrote: If you dropped into the simh prompt, that would make it a simh bug.

Bizarre RSTS/E and SIMH issue...

"tq" is a tape drive, I think, so the thing to do would be to find the tape emulation code where that message is being reported and stick some breakpoints into the spot where that happens.

If you dropped into the simh prompt, that would make it a simh bug. And that message looks like a Unix message; it doesn't look like a RSTS message. paul On Jul 26, 2013, at 8:57 AM, Cory Smelosky wrote: Morning all, Restoring MAIL installation files from the MAIL Library kit TQ I/O error: Resource temporarily unavailable I/O error, PC: 102054 (SOB R1,102052) sim> I can't even begin to find what would cause this...is it a bug in SIMH or have I found the weirdest IPC error yet?

Need help with VT220 down-line loadable characters (DECDLD)

And I know there is a GIF viewer out there, which uses soft fonts to render pictures on some VT terminals (not sure exactly which ones, though...).

The top two pixels don't seem to meet. I see some material about VT320 but the addressing of the matrix seems quite different on that terminal. I'm using 7-bit encoding to create the characters. Do I need to use 8-bit in order to use the full matrix? I'd be surprised if anyone on here has actually messed with this, but I thought it was worth a shot. I can also toss my work at whoever has a VT220 lying around to see if they can test it as well.

Sorry, I meant: http://www.vt100.net/docs/vt220-rm/table4-9.html ...since you said vt220. Pcms and/or Pt are probably what you're having issue with. -Mark On Tue, Jul 23, 2013 at 2:58 PM, Mark Abene <phiber at phiber.com> wrote: Assuming you're aware of this page: http://www.vt100.net/docs/vt510-rm/DECDLD Johnny, wasn't there a version of Pac-man using DECDLD graphics written in your neck of the woods?
