Hi all,
What happened to afterstep? I just installed afterstep for my newly
upgraded hamm box, expecting to see my setup just as normal, however it
appears that afterstep has been replaced with something else - GNUStep.
To be honest, I'd like the old afterstep back. Any ideas how I can do
this?
Does anyone know which hamm package modules for extended input to X come
in?
In particular I'm after the xf86Wacom.so file
