if you read the list, you see that currently having a working X server
is already a big event! And for some computers an ethernetet card is
cool thing to have too. So no wonder I never noticed. Since I have
NetBSD on my 9500 I was able to start X only a few times and only after
i have a custom kernel and a custom X server by Michael...

Well, I hope to find a better mouse button emulation than F9 and F10..
as soon as I can have something like alt-click and command-click like in
apple's X11 or  the old Xpmac of MkLinux X will be much more usable...
