a) I still have problems with the location of the X5250 file. The program
still looks for it in the wrong directory, and does not install it. I
have to fix this manually each time.
I don't have an install rule for the X5250 resource file yet. I also need
to create a ./configure option to instruct x5250 on where to look for it.
I thought /etc/X11/app-defaults was standard. I appear to be mistaken :(
b) Although the flickering problem seems to have been solved, there now
appears to be a problem with the caret. It does not seem to get erased
when you hit an AID generating key.
For example, in SEU type 'I' on the left to insert a new line, and hit
enter. Then immediately hit enter again. The previous caret is never
erased...
Yes, I noticed this problem soon after the release :( I stayed up most of
the night trying to come up with an elegant solution. I didn't find one,
but this morning I thought of something that should work. The problem is
that after pressing an AID key x5250_terminal_update() is called
repeatedly instead of only once. The caret is redrawn with every call,
but is only erased after a key is pressed. So after pressing the AID key
the caret does get erased, but then gets immediately redrawn by the call
the x5250_terminal_update(). At the time of this redraw the caret
position has not been updated yet so it is drawn in the same place we just
erased it from. Later x5250_terminal_update() is called again this time
with the correct position. But too late, we already drew it at least once
incorrectly with no keystrokes in between.
So now it appears I need to track the last caret position myself and
forcibly erase it with each call to x5250_terminal_update(). This will
cause more drawing requests to be sent to the X server but I don't think
it can be helped.
Look for a new release very soon...
