The port I did supported a trackball just fine with no extensions to standard X...it was kind of awkward to use, but ya' gotta give the customer what they want. Although some input devices might require some kind of extension mechanism, I thought the input extensions are more meant for supporting other input devices besides whatever you select for your keyboard and pointer device. But on to another topic: I've heard that someone volunteered at the last X Conference to maintain the porting layer documentation. Is that true and if so, who do I send the corrections/problems I've found to? Stu Lewin Sanders Associates lewin@savax.sanders.com ((or)) ...!decvax!savax!lewin
