I mostly use X for loads of vertically maximized xterms (using Alt-F12 in my window manager configuration) and some variety of graphical web browser anyway. :) I do tend to use the keyboard a lot. The most immediate problem was that I couldn't move the mouse up to get to Netscape's menus ... (I'm sure there's a Netscape.ad workaround for that, but it's not my preferred solution.) >There have been discussions in the past about making a fake mouse so X >would run without any mouse attached.
