I am having strange problems with my new system. I have supped and built
all the latest stuff including the xsrc stuff a few times and I still have
problems. In fact it got worse after the last build. Can someone please
point out to me what I am doing wrong. This is on i386.
First of all I am using a Rage 128 AGP card. XFree86 uses the SVGA
driver. Every once in a while, especially when fast scrolling, the
text meant for an xterm will be displayed at some random spot on the
screen. I changed cards when I upgraded so it is hard to tell for
sure if it is the card or the software.
Another problem is that the mouse will not use the middle button. I
have this same mouse at work with a current NetBSD and it works fine.
The relevant lines from my XF86Config file are;
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "wsmouse"
Device "/dev/wsmouse0"
Any other options I tried cause it to fail with a configuration error.
The mouse is a wheel mouse. I tried enabling options Buttons 5 and
ZAxismapping 4 5 but that also caused a configuration error.
Now I have rebuilt the xsrc and it got worse. Now I can't even cut and
paste. Although the middle button doesn't work I have been able to use
the first and third buttons to emulate that. Now that has stopped
working too.
So what can I be doing that's so wrong?
