As I request was made tthat people try this before the release I thought I would give it a shot. So far the experience has been mixed. It installed O.K. using the packages, though configuring it proved to be less easy than anticipated. kepping the old config file to hand and and fiddling with the parameters in the new file until they match proved to be very necessary. But it seems to be up and running. 2 questions remaining: 1) How is it possible to make this work with moused ? I found on two separate machines that I had to disable moused and tell X to expect a PS/2 mouse on /dev/psm0. I am assuming there is some setting by which I can tell it to use /dev/mouse, but I cant work out what it is for the life of me. 2) Netscape does not seem to work properly at all. It renders pages with fragments of them being white wityh thin vertical yellow bars. This is a serious problem for me as it makes the machine virtualy unusable for browsing the internet. Has anyone else seen this effect at all, and is there any fix for it. I would do a net search, but as the browser isnt working thats not really practical! I am using the Matrox Millenium II drivers on an 8MB card. cheers, -pcf. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
