Wait until Brad's ADB changes have been made.  Then try the
trackball again.

I'll make sure I try this on my machine.  It needs to be in the
FAQ.

I am using that version of dt with 2 monitors.  No problems ever.

I'll check through the archives regarding the RasterOps 264 card.
I think someone else mentioned their success or failure with that
card before.

Are you using the built-in video?  Or did you switch in a different
video card?  Someone else reported problems with the internal video
before.

Have you tried cutting and pasting between different virtual
terminals yet?  That's even cooler.
