El 23/09/2013, a les 8:45, Sampsa Laine <sampsa at mac.com> va escriure: So you can basically install X on them and it'll run? Well, yes and no. I don't think the graphics support in SIMH is the better option to make a "portable VAX". Basically, what you get is a window emulatin the Vaxstation "glass console". So, when you boot VMS with DECWindows, you get a graphic login prompt just like in a real VS. The problem is you will get the emulated device resolution, not the resolution your mac can support. You will get better results with a headless emulated VAX and xnest/Xephyr connecting to it using XDCMP... Jordi Guillaumes i Pons jg at jordi.guillaumes.name HECnet: BITXOV::JGUILLAUMES

Installing it on a Linux box anyway, it says it comes with a precompiled Linux binary of KLH10. sampsa <sampsa at mac.com> mobile +358 40 7208932 On 23 Sep 2013, at 08:47, Jordi Guillaumes i Pons <jg at jordi.guillaumes.name> wrote: El 23/09/2013, a les 8:41, Sampsa Laine <sampsa at mac.com> va escriure: Will that run in SIMH?

If that's the case, my Macbook Pro 13" is turning into a portable VAX :) sampsa <sampsa at mac.com> mobile +358 40 7208932 On 23 Sep 2013, at 08:41, Jordi Guillaumes i Pons <jg at jordi.guillaumes.name> wrote: El 23/09/2013, a les 8:38, Sampsa Laine <sampsa at mac.com> va escriure: And the VAX emu does graphics?
