Cool, another TrueDox user. =)

I haven't tested this under X11 yet, but I've been able to get the select14 (?)
utility in the SLS distribution to work on my TrueDox by specifying
"Microsoft Serial Mouse" in the syssetup script. This might be a good starting
point. Hope this helps.

Now if I could get X11 to work on my Everex EV-678 graphics card and my EGA
monitor, I can recover my sanity. =) =) I can get X386mono to acknowledge the
VGA2 and the HGC modes on my card but keep getting a "Caught in Signal 11
Error" afterwards. Anyone got a Xconfig for this type of graphics card? BTW,
I've tried Xega too and have not been successful. The related stats on my
setup are: 0.99pl6 kernel; Xfree1.2, 5 MB core RAM with 4 MB swap.

-Cheers! =)
