VSI DECwindows Motif V1.7-C Changes ----------------------------------- DECwindows and OPCOM Behavior at System Startup Modern systems may include graphics hardware or video capability even if the system is configured as a server, not a workstation. By default, if a supported graphics device exists, the DECwindows components required for workstation support will be loaded during system startup. Additionally, the behavior of OPCOM and the operator console OPA0: will be modified suitably for a workstation environment. If your system is not a DECwindows graphics workstation, add the following command to SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGICALS.COM: $ DEFINE /SYSTEM /EXECUTIVE DECW$IGNORE_WORKSTATION TRUE This will prevent unintended DECwindows actions for server-based systems with graphics capability. To insure that all components behave as intended, VSI recommends that you reboot the system after changing the DECW$IGNORE_WORKSTATION logical name. The behavior of DECwindows startup has also been enhanced in VSI OpenVMS V8.4-1H1. The OPC$OPA0_ENABLE logical name is now correctly honored for systems which want to explicitly control the behavior of the operator terminal, for either workstation or server-based systems. The logical names that control OPCOM behavior are documented in the SYLOGICALS.COM procedure, and its equivalent original state in SYLOGICALS.TEMPLATE. VSI DECwindows Motif V1.7-D Changes ----------------------------------- DECwindows "Old" Motif Desktop Not Starting In VSI DECwindows Motif V1.7-C, attempting to start the "old" Motif desktop would result in the hourglass appearing repeatedly on the screen, and the repeated creation of the WSAn: process. The DECwindows login box never appeared. This problem is fixed in VSI DECwindows Motif V1.7-D. VSI DECwindows Motif V1.7-E Changes ----------------------------------- Scrollbar Not Working Properly Sliding the scroll bar up and down using the mouse causes the contents of the window to alternate between the top and bottom only. To reach positions in the middle of the window, the user has to click the scrollbar above or below the slider, or press the arrow buttons above or below the scroll bar. This problem is fixed in VSI DECwindows Motif V1.7-E.
