On a Macintosh? I can't seem to get it to work. If you have it working
on a Mac, please tell us the appropriate XFConfig file magic.

Using the woody installer to set up X on a Macintosh is an exercise in
futility. There is no proper selection for the mouse, the help text
does tell what keyboard selection is proper for the Mac though. There
needs to be a Device entry of /dev/adbmouse added and the protocol
should be BusMouse. The default config on potato for the Mac mapped the
Ctrl and Alt keys so the silly single button Mac mouse was actually
usable in X. If anyone knows how to do this in XFree86 Version 4.1.0.1
please let me know.
