The patch worked and now I have a beautiful Xfree screen looking back at 
me with no mouse.  Does the trackpad work on a newer powerbook?  I see a 
total of 3 uhidevs created two of which are Apple mouse/keyboard.  Those 
of course are the last two.  The first uhidev is not descriptive on what 
it is and it links to ums0 and then wsmouse.  Any ideas how to fix this. 
  Also when I exit xfree it just freezes in a static looking screen and 
never makes it back to the console.  Any ideas on this one?  Google has 
not been my friend in this case.
