Known bugs
  • general bugs

  • Segmentation Fault of the ELF Graphics Tool
    There are some problems with the ELF port of the xview shared libraries. --> vcam may have problems while using the arrow buttons to change the 'Grid' or 'Smoothness'. Work-around: install the latest XView libraries from
    ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/libs/X/xview/.

  • Segmentation Fault on first key stroke
    All XView applications (including xmupad) crash on the first keystroke with this or a similar error message:
    X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer 
      parameter out of range for operation)
    Major opcode of failed request: 101
      (X_GetKeyboardMapping)
    Value in failed request:  0x0
    Serial number of failed request:  253
    Current serial number in output stream:  253
    
    Additionally, applications with the athena widget set are not able to open menues. The fix is quite easy: turn off numlock. That should be all.

  • Backspace and Delete Keys don't work proper
    If the Backspace key performs a Delete and the Delete key does nothing, you can change this behaviour by applying the following system keymap MuPAD.map:
    keycode  14 = Remove Delete
    keycode 111 = Delete
    string Remove = "\010"
    
    Load it with the system command loadkeys MuPAD.map.

  • The '^'-key generates a '^@' symbol in xmupad
    This bug is due to a incompatibility between XView and keyboard mappings with 'deadkeys' like the german mapping de-latin1.map. Please use de-latin1-nodeadkeys.map instead.
