Re: Isn't it time for thinking about K11?



Over the past months I've tried 3 times to get X working
satisfactorily on the live-cd.  No success yet.  The last bug that
stumped me was a strange move-the-mouse-to-flush-stdin bug.  Let me
elaborate:

1. I type some text in a shell.  The text doesn't show up immediately as I type.
2. I wait for a second or so and the text doesn't show up .
3. I move the mouse around, and what I typed finally shows up in the shell.

I'm hoping that the recent sysv shm work fixes this, but I haven't
tested it yet.
