Aha, that will do it nicely then. Thank you Sven. I have some machine control code that checks to see if its running on a pi-3b & bails out if not. But it also bails out if the arch is arm64 even though its still a pi-3b. So I need to add some additional debugging long enough to see whats getting bent. > You can toggle mouse support at runtime with Meta+M (on most systems, > Alt functions as the Meta key). I tried the control key and rather quickly painted myself into a corner. Not good, couldn't find a way out. Had to root killall it. > Cheers, > Sven Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
