I successfully run the QDSS Vaxstation GPX colour graphics, using the SimH 
MicroVAX 3100M38  emulator, that Matt Burke contributed last year. My ini file 
has:

set va capture

set cpu model=VAXstationGPX

 

and mouse tracking and clicks work fine.

 

My only outstanding problem is corruption of the text fonts after pushing and 
popping  windows, which I logged some months ago.

 

I would like to see the SPX graphics working, but that still seems to be a work 
in progress.

 

Regards,

I see now; I just noticed that you were running the MicroVAX2 executable, not 
the VAX executable, which doesn’t currently have a QDSS device (it could). The 
set cpu model command implicitly enables/disables the correct device(s). Try 
doing a “show device”  before and after the set cpu model command to see how 
the enable/disable works.

 

The correct configuration is:

 

   ; for multicolor vaxstation

   set qdss capture                            ; qdss is the color device

   set cpu model=vaxstationgpx  ;vaxstationgpx is multicolor variant

 

OR

 

  ; for monochrome vaxstation

  set qvss capture                             ;qvss is the monocolor device

  set cpu model=vaxstation          ;vaxstation is monocolor variant
