Re: mouse problems with latest release

Well, what do you know! I changed the order of the displays, and fixed the
linux-mouse to the correct syntax, and now the multihead almost works
right.

In that case it should be taken out of inputs.txt:
Optional:
<mousetype>[,<file>[,<opts>]]

I apparently didn't test enough with this before, cos it works now.

What happened was that the X servers weren't being started with the same
depth. I don't think I got a decent error telling me that without
GGI_DEBUG set, but I'm not sure about that.

Anyway, now that I almost have it working, I just want to complain some
more ;>
1: I can't drag a window from one screen to another.
2: It's not easy making a window get focus on the other screen. I use
enlightenment, and I use 'sloppy-focus'. When I go to the other screen, I
have to open an enlightenment menu before I can give the window focus for
some reason.

This is really excellent!! If I/we/you can fix these things, I'll be
*very* impressed, and so will all my family and friends ;>
