1) How do i switch console multiscreen from a program?
If you wonder why, it is that i put the keyboard into "RAW" (scancode)
mode, and then the console multiscreen keys don't work any more.
2) Has anyone gotten the xenix event driver to work with a mouse?
Problem: It works for me, but in 9 cases of of 10, it gives
"illegal value error in ev_open". It is very troublesome to get the
error away. Not connecting the mouse, it fails much more seldom,
but still does sometimes.
I works best on a Specialix multi-port serial card. On /dev/tty1a
it works the first time. The second time, it first gives the error,
but if I insist, it hangs instead, and only a reboot helps.
Due to lack of responses to my previous query about the problem, I
have to "hack it away" from the kernel myself.
So question 3 is:
3) Is there something like a "kernel debugger" for xenix.
Then it would be so easy just to step through the failing routine,
and figure out what is wrong.
