I have the same problem. I can pull down menus (like in xmh), but as Paul
described, there's no highlight. I can't even pop up the Xterm menus!!
Netscape works perfectly. XV works perfectly. Ghostview does NOT work.
xxgdb works perfectly. It's as though simple, plain buttons/menus do not
work. If someone codes their own button/menus (like xv and Netscape do),
they work.
My setup:
BSD 2.0.950412-SNAP
Micron P90, 16m mem
Diamond Stealth 64 DRAM (using the S3 X server)
PS/2 mouse (tried serial mouse too: same result)
IDE boot drive (conner 540)
SCSI tape/2nd drive
3Com 3c509 NIC
