SimH VAXstation on Pi Wayland?

Oct 21, 2026 0 Replies

Does anyone here run SimH VAXstation emulation (or other SimH graphics) under current Raspberry Pi OS? Specifically under Trixie which provides Wayland rather than X-windows?



I have a VAXstation 3100 m38 configuration which works fine under Windows



11, or Debian on pc. It used to work fine on Raspberry Pi under Bookworm .

Upgrading to Trixie (or installing a clean copy), which uses Wayland, compiling a new executable, an running it gets to the point that it would create the graphics screen window and just hangs.



In theory I could revert Trixie to using X rather than Wayland, but I’d prefer to use the standard release.



Anyone know appropriate incantations to make SimH work under Wayland?



Regards,



Paul.
