dear all,

i don't know how people feel about me asking this question on this list, 
but i really wouldn't know who else to ask.  when i try to run the 
svgalib version of doom on my netbsd-1.1-alpha system (from 
munitions.wasabi.com) it just dies with a message saying:

mouse_init() failed

and then it screws up my keyboard, totally disarranging the keys making 
it unable to type (it just prints a bunch of control characters and stuff 
instead of the regular key output).  this never happened when i tried 
sdoom under linux, so it must be a problem with the emulation?

i only ask because it mentioned in an earlier mail that the svgalib 
version of doom now runs under netbsd with linux compatibility compiled in.

ingat ka,
