Re: XGGI!

You have not configured your mouse for LibGII - right ?
Either configure your /etc/vga/libVGA.conf, or set up your
~/.ggi/input/linux-mouse or whatever.

Check that your mouse setup is o.k. with inputdump or monitest.
When that works, try XGGI.

XGGI is an X _SERVER_ not an X startup system like startx. Use a script or
change your X symlink, or tell startx to use the XGGI server. If you enter
plain X, you get the same effect.

How about a script ? I tend to use, though AFAIK it isn't needed anymore.

#!/bin/bash
#
DIS=${1:-:0}

(export DISPLAY=$DIS ; sleep 3; fvwm2 & sleep 1 ;\
 xmodmap /usr/local/lib/ggi/xggikeymaps/xggimap.base ; \
 xmodmap /usr/local/lib/ggi/xggikeymaps/xggimap.de_de \
) &

exec XGGI $* -noxfreeemu

XGGI has no business with that. That depends solely on the underlying
graphics subsystem.

Same here. Configure LibGII and LibGGI appropriately and be done with it.

Regarding keyboard, you of course have to load the appropriate xmodmaps.
