Works nice. I played a bit with X11 ... everything is ok. After playing around with X11, playing with the parameters in the Xconfig file (only tuning the screen resolution related parameters) I have since yesterday evening the problem, that any xterm session, that I start, doesn't accept any input from my keyboard. If I move the mouse pointer into the xterm window, the cursor changes into the "filled" form and the boarder around the window shows, that this window is now active. But if I type in some characters ... nothing happpens. I tried to solve the problem in running the MAKEDEV script again to make sure, that each special file has proper permissions. No difference. I can't imagine what happened to my configuration/system, that causes this wrong behaviour. I hope, that somebody can help. Please reply via E-Mail ... I'll summarize later.
