Go bug the XFree86 developers -- their XF86Setup program needs the VGA16 server, which does not bulid on *any* Alpha OS. You need to run xf86config to configure the server and then hack the resulting /etc/XF86Config as xf86config does not know about our sysmouse. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
