What I have is a Gateway with a Mach32 Ultra Pro VLB bios rev 1.4. When I link the /usr/X11R6/bin/X to XF86_SVGA, the mouse works as it should. When it is linked to XF86_Mach32, I get a horizontal movement problem (vertical is ok). I've tried to use other tty's (as the README.Mach states), but it only likes ttyd0 (28,0). So it appears that something in the video setup is wrong, but I have no idea what. Any pointers as to where to look?? Thanks, Jim Ballantine
