- Simple: you can't type nor you can move the mouse pointer :-(
- I think there's now working on it but they need somebody to build
- devices for both keyboard and mouse to enable X accessing them.
-
- As for now they have *only* a 330MB hard disk and I'll provide them tonight
- another 420MB. Now I've got an old Sun386i without hard-disk ;-)

- We still should wait for shared library otherwyse your hard disk will
- be filled-up with X binaries. I think somebody was working on it, Markus
- Wild himself ?
-
- All machines should be able to run it, provided you have enough RAM.
- As for now standard custom chips are supported, and they will work
- on first the Retina card, as one the guy got one. X-color will be
- available with standard customs chips as they told me. I can
- imagine they hacked a lot into X deep routines to manage it.

- I still don't know. I expect them to work on it all week-end long, and I'll
- try to make a tape of it. Perhaps I'll upload binaries to ftp.eunet.ch
- if it's not filled up yet.
