Hi Jesse,
Thanks for sending us the bug report on AutoCAD and vtwm.gamma. The version
of AutoCAD we currently have running on the Sun platform is intended to
be used with OpenLook, not X windows. As such, I cannot report the
problem to AutoDesk, as they make no guarantees that AutoCAD will run
under X windows. I expect that AutoCAD version 13, due out sometime
next spring, will be an X windows version, but until then I don't think
that there is much that I can do to fix the problem. If you want to
run AutoCAD on the Sun, try exiting vtwm.gamma and running mwm for the
duration of your AutoCAD session. (I know; that's not a very good
solution...)
