Ahh...so the turbo mouse has to be plugged in at startup then?

Very annoying. > ...huh? :) Ya lost me. :) I've never played with xmodmap...<<checks the manpage>> hmm...ok...a little more sense now. I'll probably have to do the same with mine then.

I had some troubles until I unchecked the "Use Video Driver" box in BootX (having a bitch of a time getting yaboot to work on this thing, mostly because it's an oldworld and OF isn't displayed on screen properly), now it just works fine. I realize that Xsetup is broken, but what I don't understand, is why it's broken under Debian, and LinuxPPC/YellowDog seem to have gotten around this problem? Is it due to GPL issues? Thanks for the help...this might work yet. :) -Jeremiah Merkl
