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

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.
