I start it up exactly the way i did with -1.0 and everything comes up as it should, it all looks nice...BUT the mouse will not move, I wait until fvwm comes up and I have mapped mouse motions to keys and they don't work either ??!!! I did get the newest X snapshot from uni-regensburg, well latest at the end of September, if another one has appeared since. I would appreciate any help as it would make life much easier for work. (I need a graphical web browser, which I can do on the Amiga side, but all my work is on the Unix side....) Simon P.S: Since I am writing, I also have a problem using loadbsd-2.10, when I give the option '-n 1' (or '-n 2') and load my kernel it goes through the whole kernel sequence, and seccussfully checks the boot partition of my drive, but before going any further it crashes. When this crash occurs characters popup on my screen in random places but they are part of an error message that gets printed repeatedly (Or at least bits of it) the messgae is 'Panic: Bus Error' if I let it continue printing for awhile the message changes to 'Panic: Address Error'. My memory configuration is 4M of Zips, 4 1M simms on a GVP hard card, 2M Chip. Thanks!
