[Simh] EXT :Re: Mouse capture on VAXstation II/GPX (KA630) simulator V4.0-0 Current

[Hittner, David T [US] (MS)]

Shouldn’t the configuration order be:
set cpu model=vaxstationgpx
set qvss enable                        ; if required – I think ‘set cpu model = vaxstationgpx’ does this implicitly
set qvss capture

There may be some odd interaction if capture mode is enabled before setting vaxstationgpx.

I built the latest SIMH microvax2 on FreeBSD and found the behavior is exactly identical on FreeBSD as well. The problem is not Linux specific.

Any ideas?

TIA
