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?

Hi Sampsa,
How timely of you to observe this today.
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.
Thanks.
