Hi.  In:

http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-vax/2000/10/03/0004.html

I presented some patches I made to add wskbd and wsmouse support to
the kernel and Xmono, for the VS3100.  I think Ragge has looked at
them, so I imagine they'll go in eventually, and they're still at the
URLs mentioned in the email.

I run X this way on my 3100/m30, and except for the occasional panic
on server exit (which I understand people have seen before), everything
seems to work fine.

For some reason, though, the mouse doesn't work on either of the two
3100/m38 machines I have.  Can anyone think of any reasons why?  The
dz should work exactly the same way, right?

Matt
