I do have some weird mouse things in some cases, but that seems to differ based on the graphics chips in the machine I'm using. And it is not "close to" warping the mouse. http://gnats.netbsd.org/51149 > [...] autoconf is just too miserable to > countenance, at least without an assurance that it will lead to > massive karmic rebalancing (I mean, the lottery is _right_ _there_ > ...). I'm open to suggestions. It is possible to use autoconf without the bulk of the other autotools. I tried that in this project https://github.com/Rhialto/klh10 where I just concatenate some Makefile fragments with some variable substitutions. (An argument for that method in that project is that there was a pre-existing nontrivial Makefile, and I wanted to be sure not to break anything). The configure script is still an unreadable generated mess but that's the only thing that is. -Olaf. -- ___ Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert -- Wayland: Those who don't understand X \X/ rhialto/at/xs4all.nl -- are condemned to reinvent it.
