The problem is that I cannot get X to work with the 950912 snapshot.  I 
start it up exactly the way i did with -1.0 and everything comes up as it 
should, it all looks nice...BUT the mouse will not move, I wait until 
fvwm comes up and I have mapped mouse motions to keys and they don't work 
either ??!!!  

I did get the newest X snapshot from uni-regensburg, well latest at the 
end of September, if another one has appeared since.  I would appreciate 
any help as it would make life much easier for work.  (I need a graphical 
web browser, which I can do on the Amiga side, but all my work is on the 
Unix side....)

P.S:  Since I am writing, I also have a problem using loadbsd-2.10, when 
I give the option '-n 1'  (or '-n 2') and load my kernel it goes through 
the whole kernel sequence, and seccussfully checks the boot partition of 
my drive, but before going any further it crashes.  When this crash 
occurs characters popup on my screen in random places but they are part 
of an error message that gets printed repeatedly (Or at least bits of it) 
the messgae is 'Panic: Bus Error' if I let it continue printing for 
awhile the message changes to 'Panic: Address Error'.  My memory 
configuration is 4M of Zips, 4 1M simms on a GVP hard card, 2M Chip.

		Thanks!
