Through a series of pretty much unplanned events, a brand-new Thinkpad T42p (2373-6YU) has come into my possession. This is a 1.7G Pentium-M system with a 1024x768 screen. It has been remarkably cooperative with 5.3beta7. Xorg came up with DRI and direct rendering, and it works fine, except for a couple of seemingly-minor but possibly important things: The X root window is the default X gray-dotted background. fluxbox and fluxbox-devel cannot change it, nor can 'xsetroot -bg blue', nor icewm. They all act like they've changed it, but it does not change. Possibly a related matter: the X pointer sometimes reverts to the default X pointer instead of the window manager's arrow. Removing AGP from the kernel resulted in no mouse function, either in X or the console. Booting with ACPI disabled seems to make no difference, nor does commenting out Load "dri" in xorg.conf. Any suggestions on correcting this would be appreciated. After/if I can get these things fixed, I'll put an entry for this machine on FLCL. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
