Yes, but either should work. And it still dumps core in the same
place? So it may not be the mouse, after all, but the next thing after
that, which is the mode lines. With XF4, you don't enter "ModeLines"
anymore; the only user knobs are the HorizSync and the VertRefresh in
the "Monitor" section, and the Modes in the "Screen" section. You
could try tweaking the VertRefresh or HorizSync in the "Monitor"
section. The docs warn that making either too broad can damage the
monitor, but making them too narrow, or giving a comma separated list
when a range would do, may leave you with no usable modes. In that
case, the server shouldn't dump core, though; it should exit with a
message, "no usable modes", so it looks like a bug in the server.
