Hmm, given your warning, maybe I'll stick to fbdev for now. It's fast enough for
everything- except hashing the screen during a GNOME logout, but I don't do that
too often. :-)

Akhaaa! Very nice. Now gpm and X work great! And I have 3-button emulation!

/usr/share/doc/ipmasq/ipmasq.txt.gz:

about netfilter, please see http://netfilter.kernelnotes.org/.
