A/UX 2.0: Unsupported Status csCode 8 (3/93)


I am getting the message "unsupported status csCode 8" under the A/UX 2.0
32-bit Finder. Do you have any suggestions?

Here's a copy of the console log:

Running on mc68020

It's been reported that the "unsupported status csCode: 8" error message is
caused by applications that try to write a "SCRN 0" resource to the System
file.

Further research reveals that the csCode: 8 is not included in the current
supported control status code list (video.h) of the A/UX toolbox video
driver.  The following status codes are supported under A/UX 2.0:

  #define cscGetMode 2
  #define cscGetEntries 3
  #define cscGetPages 4
  #define cscGetBaseAddr 5
  #define cscGetGray 6
  #define cscGetVideoDefault 9

If any Macintosh application, like "After Dark 2.0", tries to use some
video features not supported in the above list, it might have this problem
too.

Note: After Dark is compatible with A/UX 3.0 because A/UX 3.0 supports
the needed video calls.
