I have it mostly working but I have two problems left.

The X server doesn't use the whole screen.  I am losing about an inch
all around the active area.  Windows95 was able to use the whole area so
I know it is possible.

More critical, the mouse doesn't work.  I move the trackpointer (that little
red nipple in the middle of the keyboard) and the pointer moves erratically.

I have turned off all the wscons stuff as that didn't seem to be supported
at all accoring to the error message from X.  I have pc0 as my console
and the following line for the PS/2 mouse which this is supposed to be.

opms0   at pc? irq 12       # PS/2 auxiliary port mouse

Here are some excerpts from my XF86Config file.  The xf86config program
suggested using the SVGA driver but that didn't work at all, nothing
displayed.  I replaced the symlink with XF86_VGA16 and the graphics
came up.  Anyone else have this working and would like to share some
ideas?
