The quit submenu includes the "really quit" option,
a suspend option which should only be used if you run a
job-control shell, and a screen saver and locker option, which
waits for you to type your login password when you come back
to your machine.
- can't find the screen
make sure you have a /dev entry for your display device,
e.g. on
a Sun /dev/bwtwo0. If not, as root cd to /dev, and type
"MAKEDEV bwtwo0". Otherwise, you might need the
-S/dev/bwtwo0
or (on Linux) the -S640x480 command line option when starting mgr.
On Linux, you might also make sure that /usr/mgr/bin/mgr was
installed setuid root.
- can't find the mouse
make sure /dev/mouse exists, usually as a symbolic link to the
real device name for your mouse. If you haven't permission to
write in /dev, then something like a -m/dev/cua0
option can be
given when starting mgr. Also, make sure you've supplied the
right mouse protocol choice when you configured mgr. The mouse
may speak Microsoft, even if that is not the brand name.
- can't get a pty
make sure all of /dev/[tp]ty[pq]?
are owned by root, mode 666,
and all programs referenced with the "shell" option in
your .mgrc startup file (if any) exist and are executable.
- none but the default font
make sure MGR is looking in the right
place for its fonts. Check the Configfile in the source or
see whether a -f/usr/mgr/font option to mgr fixes the problem.
- completely hung (not even the mouse track moves)
login to your machine from another terminal (or rlogin) and kill the
mgr process.
A buckey-Q key can quit MGR if the keyboard still works.
