The Xt input loop is severely broken in AIX 4.3.0 and 4.3.1. I finally gave up and built X11R6.4 - linking against the libXt.a from that fixes the problem. A quick test shows it still broken in 4.3.2. The symtom of this is 'xemacs -nw' loops and chews CPU time, only processing keyboard input at sporadic intervals. There's another screw-up someplace that requires --with-dialogs=athena, not sure why this is required. Also, at least with 21.2, you need to say --with-dragndrop=no (not sure why on this one either). -- Valdis Kletnieks Computer Systems Senior Engineer Virginia Tech
