If it causes some other problem, I could remove the change, but that would bring back the problem he fixed. It would be better if we could fix both problems. However, only Solaris users can figure out what is really right to do. Message-Id: <200208172345.g7HNjLH21569@arc.math.ohio-state.edu> From: Markus Rost To: rms@gnu.org Subject: my Emacs is broken X-Mailer: GNU Emacs 21.2 X-Home-Page: http://www.math.ohio-state.edu/~rost X-RAVMilter-Version: 8.3.2(snapshot 20020213) (mathserv) X-Spam-Status: No, hits=0.0 required=5.0 tests=none version=2.31 X-Spam-Level: Content-Length: 472 My Emacs is broken: It starts an X window, but that is blank and does not react to any input. This is in In GNU Emacs ---current CVS--- (sparc-sun-solaris2.8, X toolkit) I guess this problem is related with this change: 2002-08-17 Richard M. Stallman * s/sol2-5.h (BROKEN_SIGIO): Add #undef. At least, after undoing this change and recompiling, Emacs started out well. (In case you ask me for more tests, it may take 2 weeks until I'll respond.)
