Thanks Risto. I have a very slow loading, but very fuctional gdm and gnome
desktop, using the r128 driver with "UseFBDev" option on. But I can't use the
HW accelleration. Hence the slow loading I suppose. Can it be made to work
somehow?
Heres my current xorg.conf:

Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"

... I remember reading somewhere (maybe on this list?)that the "ChipID" was
needed.
I don't how to find this or "MemBas" or "IOBas". Can this xorg.conf be improved?
I also sorted out the mouse. Thanks Esteban Monge. Like this:
/etc/sysctl.conf:
>dev/mac_hid/mouse_button3_keycode = 125
>dev/mac_hid/mouse_button2_keycode = 126
>dev/mac_hid/mouse_button_emulation = 1
>
>Configure the mouse to: This map the apple key as a right click and the Fn
>apple key >as a click from the middle button.

... which works, accept I don't seem to have an "Fn apple" key for the middle
click.
This box cute little box is for my six year old son, and he loves supertuxkart,
which doesn't even start up. But maybe, just maybe, with some herd ware
accelleration ... do think so?
Anyway, thanks to everyones insightful and rapid responses, I have a totaly
usable machine (after a good week of brain strain). Thank you so much.
P.S. Have I made a mess of the Subject?
