I believe 'non-free to distribute' means, you can't sell it for money (many people do this - they give the program away, but you can't sell a CD with that program on it).

I never exitted abuse. What happens exactly. Do you get an error message? Does the mouse simply stop responding? Are you running gpm? I've tested this out with my PS/2 mouse, but haven't had any problems switching VC's. -- Run.exe [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntplx.net/~runexe/ Finger me for PGP key -- Nine megs for the secretaries fair,| One disk to rule them all, Seven megs for the hackers scarce, | One disk to bind them, Five megs for the grads in smoky lairs,| One disk to hold the files Three megs for system source; | And in the darkness grind 'em. --- Hi!

I've asked the makers if they'll make an ELF version, but I haven't seen one. Until then there isn't much I can do - I'll leave the bug open however, as I do agree an ELF version would be much better. -- Run.exe First Law of the Universe: No law applies to ALL of the Universe [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntplx.net/~runexe/ Finger me for PGP key

It depends on either X11R6 or aout-svgalib - if any wants me to set it for both, I'll consider it.
