Hi,
   We have just received an XDS for evaluation and we have a problem with
it.  The terminal does not respond to the mouse at all--the mouse cursor
just sits resolutely in the middle of the screen and mouse clicks do not
register.  We have plugged the mouse into a line analyser and it seems to
be generating "plausible" output.

The local distributors are trying to help, but they don't really know
anything about X or these terminals.  They can't get a new mouse to us for
a day and I don't think that is going to fix the problem.  Just wondering
if anyone else has had this problem and that there isn't something simple
that we are missing (or is it just a hardware fault in the terminal).

Details (if relevant) are:
	ROM version 0.3 Sep26 1988; serial #unknown date
	mouse systems optical mouse.

One other thing--literature we had read on the XDS claimed it had a 14 inch
screen.  The one we have here has (according to my ruler) a 12 inch screen
(but still 1024x800).  What should it be?

Apart from the above it appears to be quite nice so far (to the extent you
can do things with X without a mouse).

cheers
mark
