I fixed mouse-X a while ago and sent the diffs back to McGill, but since they don't seem to be available for anonymous ftp yet there, i've put them up. They are on cunixf.cc.columbia.edu (128.59.40.130) as X11R4-Next-2.0.tar.Z I don't know if they are completely in synch with McGill yet, and have had a couple of minor reports about it (like the shifted top row of the new keyboard's keypad aren't supported). Please report other problems as you find them. ------------------------------------------------------------ Howie Kaye howie@columbia.edu Columbia University hlkcu@cuvma.bitnet UNIX Systems Group ...!rutgers!columbia!howie

The McGill distribution has some 2.0 support in it, but it is probably not as good as what Howie has on cunixf, at present, so get his, not mine, for now. Once this slab I have in my office gets access to some disk space, I'll clean things up and wrap it all up into a neat package with a nice bow on top :-) > and have had a couple of minor reports about it (like the shifted top > row of the new keyboard's keypad aren't supported). Any idea how to find out what sort of keyboard is in use? It's just a matter of xmodmap to fix this, but it *should* be dealt with automatically - and if I can sense the keyboard type, it will be. der Mouse old: mcgill-vision!mouse new: mouse@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu
