Thanks to the bus mouse patches, I have finally gotten X386 to work somewhat.

I have the following problems.

1) If I close one of the default shells which pops up, then X crashes out
   and returns me to my prompt.

2) The normal 'Exit' function does not work.

3) Whenever X386 leaves in this fashion, I end up with a BLACK screen with
   no display.

4) Often I type startx on the console, and when X is loaded, the keyboard 
   no longer works. (and stays that way.) I rebooted, and booting hung just
   after printing the 'npx0' line. I had to hit the power switch.

Are there any solutions to this? Is the next version ready enough for me
to test a copy?

Please???

Thanks.
