Hi,
So if I understood this right there is no (easy) way to use a 3 button mouse
with X11 on a plain TT with Xdaniver? How depressing ...
Another thing that comes to my mind thinking of Xdaniver: I compiled it some
time ago and it works fine, but by browsing through the makefile I got the
impression that there must be a way to compile it for monochrome use only.
I hope the result would be smaller and/or faster but I couldn't figure out what
to do to get the monochrome version. Any ideas?
Yet another thing: When running NetBSD with a text screen (no X11) I can use
this nice feature which allows me to switch between several screen by pressing
Alt-Fn. After starting X11 it doesn't work anymore. Is there any way to avoid
this?
Still one more: I spend quite some time fiddeling with the xmodmap program to
get X to understand the input from my german keyboard but it still has
problems with the keys that can produce 4 different characters. For everyone
out there who doesn't know the german keyboard: there is a key which produces
the following characters:
no modifier -> lower case german umlaut 'o'
shift -> upper case german umlaut 'O'
alternte -> '['
shift, alternate -> '{'
Any ideas what to do to get this behaviour?
Thanks for your patience with an X11 newbie ... :-)
