Re: I messed up Xfree86



Oh, and after doing that, copying the XF86Config.new file to /etc/X11
directory meant I could now run startx again, and resume to having X
running with WindowMaker. Allbeit in a god awful resolution, so thats the
next step.

BTW, I *think* the ZAxisMapping for intelli-mice is now:

Option	"ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

I stuck that in as a guess and i could scroll an eterm with it. Cause it
could just be working by default now too so who knows.
