Athena menu selection woes

Post by Arthur D. Jeriji » Mon, 07 Aug 1995 04:00:00



Greetings,

        I am currently running Slackware 2.2.0.1 and XFree86 3.1.1.  My video
hardware is a Quadtel (Dell) S3/801 with 1MB video RAM.  Everything works fine
under X, even 400x300 mode, despite the loud "click" that the monitor makes
when switching modes.  Howver, I can't get select any pull-down menu item
whenever I run a program that uses Xaw!  I tried both xpaint and xfontsel, and
both programs gae me this behavior.  Any suggestions?
        Thanks for your help.

Make sure that your numlock key is OFF.

I suggest turning off NumLock until you get XFree86 3.1.2.

1. Athena menus didn't work....

Hi,

I had a strange problem yesterday. I had just compiled up xarchie, and
found that the drop-down menus didn't work: if I pressed the mouse
button on the menu header (e.g. File), the menu dropped down, but as I
dragged the mouse down the menu, the options didn't highlight, and
releasing the button on an option anyway didn't invoke the option.

I thought I must have miscompiled it, but then found exactly the same
behaviour with xman.

Exiting X and restarting cured the problem with both xman and xarchie.

Anyone seen this? Is it a bug or might I have done something wrong?

Tony.
