[Sheflug] XFree86 4.0

[Craig Andrews <nospam [at] fishbot.org.uk>]

Hello all,

Well, I just installed SuSE 7.0 Professional, and after a number of
personal changes, have got it just about all up and running.

Couple of problems though. First, kppp doesn't work (I use wvdial, but the
missus likes pointyclicky things). First time of trying, it says there is
no kernel PPP support, and second time, it connects, but doesn't actually
do anything. No data sent or receieved.

Also, XFree86 4. I have most of it working except the mouse. For some
reason, the mouse NEVER works, regardless of setting. I have tried using
PS2, IMPS/2 and MouseSystems for the protocol, psaux, mouse and gpmdata
for the port, and still to no avail. The server starts, and the pointer
simply sits in the middle of the screen not responding. I didn't use SaX2,
btw, because in three times of trying, it has locked me out of the
machine. 'XFree86 -configure' seems to work much better.

Life would be so much easier if we 
could just look at the source code.
