Has anyone any experience programming with the PEXlib under Debian?
I have managed to get PEX running in the Xserver (Note to the maintainer -
maybe the install should modify XF86Config?) but there are no demos/code
supplied with the xext package.
I have scanned the PEXlib reference manual and t

is the serial port my modem is on, seems to only allow root access. Anyone
recommend a fix? Also any tips on mgetty setup would be appreciated.

Even easier - I just downloaded the new 3.1.2F server, named it
XF86_Mach64 (I think it already was..) and overwrote the old 3.1.2 debian
