see now; I just noticed that you were running the MicroVAX2
executable, not the VAX executable, which doesn’t currently
have a QDSS device (it could). The set cpu model command
implicitly enables/disables the correct device(s). Try doing
a “show device” before and after the set cpu model command
to see how the enable/disable works.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p>There is something broken with QDSS device emulation - mouse
capture does NOT work in QDSS emulation.</p>
<p>Mouse works fine in QVSS emulation.</p>
<p>So, currently, there is no way to have color graphics with mouse
on SIMH microvax2.</p>
<p>I will continue to use QVSS - monochrome is charming in its own
way. I am sure QDSS mouse capture will be fixed in the near
future.</p>
<p>Thanks very much for your help, David.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Well,
the QVSS device is monocolor, so you shouldn’t see any
color. The QDSS device was multicolor.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">If
the “set cpu model= vaxstationgpx” seems to enable the qdss
(multicolor) device instead of the qvss (monocolor) device,
then you should be setting qdss (multicolor) capture, not
qvss.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Note
that the QVSS and QDSS share the same IO space by default,
and were [practically] mutually exclusive in a normal
system, but could technically both exist at the same time if
the CSR and Vectors were set correctly in an extended
backplane. If both are actually enabled and working, that
could easily account for some mouse jumpiness as the
software double-dispatches the mouse event.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">The
Operator console can be toggled on and off with one of the
function keys or a control-key sequence. I can’t remember
what the toggle sequence is off the top of my head. Might be
worth looking at one of the old Vaxstation manuals. Some of
the odd console behavior might also be from setting the
console parameter in your configuration file, or if you are
using the wrong QxSS device.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
