I have a 486 clone running FreeBSD 2.0.5 (from the Walnut Creek cdrom)
Ive recompiled my kernel to remove needless devices and sort out an IO card
with odd IRQ/addressing and Ive relinked the XF86_SVGA to leave only the ET4000\driver as I have only an ET4000 card.

It seems to run perfectly except for 2 things
(odd kernel lockup when bringing ppp down)

and tcl/tk applications dont receive mouse down events.
They are tracking the mouse because they highlight the right sectiosn as I
move the pointer over the various parts of the windows and typing while over
text boxes works nicely, but all my mouse clicks are ignored.

any suggestions ?

TIA
JonT
