I'm posting here to see if this is a FreeBSD problem or XFree86.

Machine: Intel DX33, 8MB, Cirrus GD5428 VESA Card
OS     : FreeBSD 2.0.5-950622-SNAP
Mouse  : Logitech Serial _and_ M$

Help. There seems to be a couple of bugs in the SVGA xserver.
When xterm is run the pop menu accessed with CTRL+Button <n> dont
appear. xman pull down menus appear but you dont get the cursor
highlighting the menu item one wants. However, when both
xterm and xman are run from FreeBSD to display on a Sun 3/80 they work
correctly. I summize that there is a bug in XF86_SVGA?

I have tested this on two different PC's with three different mice,
I will also test on different xservers.

Oh, yeah I cant get the Mono server to work correctly with either a
Generic VGA the Cirrus card, vertical wrap occurs after a few minutes.

Thanks for any help.
