Thanks for the submission! > Hi, In merging en_US version in fr_FR I had a doubt, so I tested it: gothic:/home/marc% su -m Password: gothic:/home/marc# XFree86 -configure XFree86 Version 4.2.0 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600) Release Date: 18 January 2002 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems.

Please check your config if the mouse is still not operational, as by default XFree86 tries to autodetect the protocol. Your XF86Config file is /home/marc/XF86Config.new To test the server, run 'XFree86 -xf86config /home/marc/XF86Config.new' And of course when I use 'su' instead of 'su -m' I've got: Your XF86Config file is /root/XF86Config.new To test the server, run 'XFree86 -xf86config /root/XF86Config.new' So in fact the file will be placed in $HOME and not "always" in /root. Maybe that should be corrected. Marc To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
