|  Hi, 
|  
|  on 6.99.23 i386 with a 9250 RV280 card (AGP) the Xserver runs and
|  I can start xterm from .xinitrc but the mouse moves only in
|  horizontal direction (PS2). After reinstalling the system with native
|  Xorg everything works. The same problem was reported in this mail:
|  http://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-users/2013/06/27/msg018240.html
|  
|  I didn't have time to analyse the problem and it might be unrelated
|  to xf86-video-ati6, but for me modular xorg was not usable with

This happens when the mouse code does not send an ioctl to change
to the new protocol (that uses a time_t that is 64 bits), so the xserver
gets confused about the mouse struct format it receives.
