Is /dev/sysmouse incorrect? Does that second missing library have anything to do with it? I have only two more days before I will be showing this system off at Software Developer 2000 in San Jose. I need to get X running and running well as it is going to be sitting in our booth next to Debian, RedHat, SuSE, and of course Tru64 UNIX. -----Mike -----Original Message----- From: Wilko Bulte [mailto:wilko@yedi.iaf.nl] Sent: Friday, March 03, 2000 5:27 PM To: Waite, Michael Cc: freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Alpha ISO is fantastic!

You lack: libXThrStub.so.6 in /usr/X11R6/lib and libutil.so.2 (IIRC) for /usr/lib The first one is the more important one because lots of X is linked to it. If you have an account on beast.freebsd.org you can 'borrow' the library there and X will run (sort of). I'd be very interested to see how the XP1000 behaves running X as I see problems on all my Alphas (Miata GL , Miata MX5 and EB64+/Aspen Alpine) when running X. > But none the less....hat's off to whoever made the iso. Yep, very much so. I really like the bootable CDs!
