	On the December release of IBM/4.3 the Megapel server for X11R2 does
not show the mouse cursor. In order to fix this problem a simple recompilation
of the Xibm server is required. However the source code distribution for the 
Xibm server has a couple of problems. Follow the steps below:

1) Copy the header files in server/ddx/ibm/ppc from the September release
   of the X11R2 source code. 

2) Edit the makefile in server/ddx/ibm/ppc and edit the line 
   ${OBJ}.o : ${OBJ}.obj to read ${OBJ}.o: 
   i.e. remove the dependancy for ${OBJ}.obj

3) Similarly edit the Makefile in server/ddx/ibm/ibm8514 and comment out
   test -f src && (cd src; make ; cp ibm8514.o ../ibm8514.obj)

4) Now go to the top level of the server directory and run make

This should build an Xibm server with the correct mouse cursor.
Should you have any questions please contact the ACSC in LA.

Did you check whether you have the CGA emulation jumper on the megapel
board in the right position?  CGA emulation should be turned off
on the megapel for proper operation.
