I don't know, I'll have to wait until I have time to put X on my 2nd
machine to try it again. Basically, I was setting up Linux on some
computers at my high school, and playing around in X one day, showing off
the features, when I had netscape display remotely...mouse clicks seemed
to work just fine, but no keyboard... this was with a basically stock
/etc/XF86Config (ran xf86config and configured support for video card, not
much else), a customized .fvwm2rc95 file, X3.3.1, Netscape 3.04. The
client machine receiving the session was a Pentium 233 w/32MEGs of RAM,
the 'server' for Netscape was a 486sx-33 w/20MEGs of RAM.
