NMI generated by rs232 freezes the emulator...frequently hitting "restore" will make the program go on like it should. this bug appeared after certain other nmi code was "fixed" :=P (not that it was broken before) > I never heard of filerequester issues in linux. BTW, as i dont even remember i have to admit, i have not used these filerequester crap for a while now (someone else told me that one, and he reported it aswell - how ever its still not fixed in latest release) > there are different UIs for Linux (xaw, xaw3d, Gnome, ...), which one(s) > is/are affected? no fuckin' clue :o) i personally avoid using *nix filerequesters of any sort since they are mostly unuseable for me (*nix gui developers seem to hate the term "intuition" :=P) > Why does everyone think that the VICE developers are all around and look at > every forum, every IRC chat or the like? you should better ask why certain vice developers dont listen to what ppl say even IF the are around on irc :) > Even if some do, they do not > always forward everything to the VICE Developers ML. that can only be blamed on your lazy developers though :=) > If you have some bug reports (descriptions how to reproduce would be good), > feel free to write to vice-devel .at. firenze.linux.it i have done that once, and got an answer telling me "if you want it fixed, fix it yourself. noone cares.". that was my first and last bug report on vice, sorry. gpz ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo_at_musoftware.de with the string "unsubscribe cc65" in the body(!) of the mail.
